[Ubuntu] Squid Cache

[Hightower]

We use Squid for our whitelist filtering here, and I've had a teacher tell me a certain site seems to be 'caching' the logon credentials.

I've tested it with teacher accounts and it doesn't cache, just for students which tells me it must be something on our Squid box.

Anyhow, long story short - how do I add one single site to avoid being cached by the Squid box?

If you use mandatory profiles it might be worth elimianting that as a possible cause.

Nah, we use roaming profiles.

I'm sure there must be somewhere in Squid where you specify a list of sites you don't want to be cached? Or would it be easier to add it via GPo for IE - Bypass the proxy for these addresses?

If you want prevent squid caching certain sites, take a look at the cache directive in the config file.

squid : cache configuration directive

Thanks Iain - that was just the ticket
