[Spacewalk-list] Squid Proxy for Spacewalk

[Glen Collins]

Thanks for the reply. My security guys just want another level of security. The SW server is already in my DMZ. But they want my clients to connect to a proxy and then have the proxy connect to the SW server. I don't need any sort of caching, just need a forwarder which I thought squid could do just fine. 

Thanks

squid on spacewalk proxy is used to cache rpms, and on default configurations accept only connections from localhost... 

instead of using squid to improve security you can filter access to your spacewalk server by putting it on dmz behind your firewall and then enable only hosts that you want.

> Hello all. Is it possible to just use a squid proxy out of the box for spacewalk? I don't need to cache packages and such. I just need to restrict access from the client side to the spacewalk master. Just another level of access our security guys want. Just didn't want to go down this rabbit whole if it's not going to work and I'll just have to go fourth with adding the actual spacewalk proxy.
