From huaraz at moeller.plus.com Sun Jan 16 17:19:31 2011 From: huaraz at moeller.plus.com (Markus Moeller) Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2011 17:19:31 -0000 Subject: Kerberos patch for Polygraph Message-ID: Hi Polygraph list, Here is a patch to run polygraph against a proxy server or web server which requires authentication with Negotiate/Kerberos. The patch replace with the kerberos_auth = true; option in the Robot section of the configuration the Negotiate/NTLM handling with Negotiate/Kerberos. To compile Polygraph with Kerberos a MIT or Heimdal Kerberos library and header files must be installed. Kerberos must be configured as documented in many existing reference guides. Accounts have to be configured on the Kerberos kdc (or Active Directory if Windows 2003/2008 is used) and credentials = [ "@:" ]; will authenticate the user against the kdc. It is important that hostnames are used for the proxy (or web server if the polygraph client is run against a web server) e.g. polygraph-client --proxy proxy.suse.home:3128 --config simple_proxy.pg --verb_lvl 10 Any questions or comments can be directed at huaraz at moeller.plus.com.

Hello Rafael, AFAIK, PolyMix workloads still work. Due to many Polygraph changes since they were standardized, PolyMix workloads can no longer reproduce the exact same traffic patters used during cache-offs. On the other hand, most of cache-off companies and/or products are now dead, merged, or changed so much that reproducing old numbers is probably pointless (a determined tester still can, of course, reproduce those old results by using old Polygraph and OS releases). The workloads we see in the wild are usually customized to match the expected proxy deployment environment. We often use PolyMix, WebAxe, or their pieces as building blocks for other workloads. In general, I do not see anything wrong with starting with PolyMix or WebAxe and later customizing them to suite your needs. If something does not work for you, please file a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/polygraph HTH, Alex.
