NethServer 6

Start date set to DEV4 release date

This requires the wpad.dat file is available through HTTP. Issue moved into project:nethserver-httpd.

See also http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/library/network/pac.htm

Needs documentation.

Implemented in nethserver-squid package.

• Install squid: yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing install nethserver-squid
• Enable manual or authenticated proxy
• Use dhcp to configure a windows client and check it's using the proxy

In /var/www/html/wpad.dat

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
    if (isPlainHostName(host))
        return "DIRECT";
    if (isInNet(host, "192.168.8.2", "255.255.255.0"))
        return "DIRECT";

    if (isInNet(host, "127.0.0.1", "255.255.255.255"))
        return "DIRECT";
    return "PROXY proxy.vboxnet0.tld:3128";
}

But proxy.vboxnet0.tld is not in /etc/hosts.

The 25wpad fragment must be evaluated before 20hostnames. To fix it:

  # mv /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/hosts/{25,02}wpad

• nethserver-httpd is missing - httpd is not running and wpad.dat cannot be retrieved

• If nethserver-dnsmasq is installed after nethserver-squid the /etc/hosts template is not expanded as expected: wpad and proxy hostnames are missing.
  Note that nethserver-dnsmasq-update event sets the dns|role prop after /etc/hosts has been expanded by nethserver-hosts-update event. So 02wpad fragment does not add wpad and proxy host aliases.
  I think this issue should be fixed by nethserver-dnsmasq that actually changes the dns|role prop...

• nethserver-httpd is missing - httpd is not running and wpad.dat cannot be retrieved [...]

It's the expected behavior: you do not need an httpd server (or dhcp server) to run squid.
We'll add nethserver-httpd and nethserver-dnsmasq as mandatory packages to nethserver-web-proxy group.

• If nethserver-dnsmasq is installed after nethserver-squid the /etc/hosts template is not expanded as expected [...]

This should be a problem until the administrator make some changes to /etc/hosts using the web ui.

RPM not modified.
