Proxy in HP-UX

[Karthik S S]

Hi,
Is there any Proxy Server available on hp-ux (like winproxy public software in Windows) ...
If yes from where I can download it??
Thanks
Karthik

Karthik,

This is not a recommendation, as I have no experience with it, but you can download "ezbounce" from the porting and archive center:

Hi
I dont know if that SW will be very useful. It seems to be a IRC char Server. My need is to setup a Proxy Server for Internet connection Sharing on hp-ux.

Thanks

Sorry, Karthik, I was searching on proxy and didn't delve very deeply into it.

has anyone compiled squid correctly on HP-UX 11.11??? I had a clean compile, but now I have some socketbinding problems when I try to reach a ftp-site from within a browser like IE.

Hi Benoit,

Could you please share the installation steps you followed with us?. In my case the hp-ux Server where I am planning to install the SW is not connected to the Internet directly but it uses some proxy server for that. My plan is to install Proxy on that Server and give access to few clients to the internet through that server. I hope you are getting my point. Is that possible???

Thanks
Karthik

Well,
I'm using 2 proxy server to connect to internet, One on the lan (on HP-UX), which send request to a second one on the DMZ (which is connected to internet).
In fact , i configured the dmz squid as a parent proxy of the first one :
to do it, you have to activate in squid.conf the cache peer option and define the parent proxy line !!
example :
cache_peer parent 3130 default no-query
3130 is the port for direct access to the cache, you can deactivate it !!
Don't forget to uncomment this line :
prefer_direct off

I don't know if you have a built in squid server, if not, then you have to compile it from sources (what I did), it's easy with gcc... which means you have to install gcc to make it works..
gcc+binutils are available on porting center :
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

for squid :
http://www.squid-cache.org/

for compilation of squid : see the INSTALL file
If you have more question, about compilation, give me details...

opps,
I forgot to tell you that for restricted access, then you have to define an acl.
What are the rules ?
restriction on IP addresses of the clients, or using a password ??
you can define both with squid !
