Configuring the Web proxy server<br />

Figure 12-14. Web Proxy<br />

Server window:<br />

Advanced tab<br />

Configuring the Web Proxy<br />

Server Advanced tab<br />

12-18 Setting Up Web Services<br />

The WebProxy server Advanced tab allows you to edit the<br />

squid.conf.template file directly rather than through the Web Proxy<br />

Server windows. The Advanced window contains only one button<br />

labelled Edit Squid Configuration. This button allows you to edit the<br />

squid.conf.template file manually using the File Editor.<br />

Important: If you manually edit the squid.conf.template file using the File Editor (or via<br />

command line) you will need to run cf www reconfigure to update squid.conf and reread<br />

the configuration files. Only an experienced administrator should manually edit the<br />

squid.conf.template file directly.<br />

The tabbed information on the Web Proxy Server windows is a subset<br />

<strong>of</strong> the information in the squid.conf.template file. The tabs include the<br />

information most likely to be changed. When you enter or update<br />

information on any <strong>of</strong> the tabs <strong>of</strong> the Web Proxy Server window, you<br />

are actually updating the squid.conf.template file.<br />

When you enter or update information on any <strong>of</strong> the tabs, the Edit<br />

Squid Configuration button becomes inactive until you click the Save<br />

icon in the upper left portion <strong>of</strong> the window. This is to prevent the<br />

changes that you have made using the Admin Console to become<br />

overwritten by manual changes you might make to the file. When you<br />

click the Save icon, the Edit Squid Configuration button becomes active<br />

again.<br />

Changing to transparent mode<br />

The Web proxy server is in non-transparent mode when <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong> is initially installed. If you want the Web proxy server to operate in<br />

transparent mode, do the following. (For information on transparent<br />

vs. non-transparent mode, see “Transparent & non-transparent<br />

proxies” on page 8-14.)
