Ssl – Squid, WCCP and Transparent HTTPS

httpssquidssltransparent-proxy

Sorry if this has been answered but i just can't get it to work for me.

We would like to log all HTTPS & HTTP requests but not to use Squid-in-the-middle. We would like the proxy to connect the HTTPS directly as we don't care about the traffic only the domain that it might be going to.

We are using WCCP to do the initial redirect of 443 and Iptables Prerouting to forward onto squid.

I can't use a PAC or auto configuration file, and clients are blocked by our firewall from connecting to the Internet directly on 443. 🙁

Is this even possible without MITM?

Any help with this is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Yes there is a way to do https WCCP redirection without MITM. You have to force Squid not to ssl-bump incoming SSL traffic.

HOpe that helps. I have a complete article here that goes into WCCP redirection using a Cisco ASA including both http and https. Web SSL Proxy redirection using WCCP Ccisco ASA and Squid 3.4+
