Name

ident_timeout

Synopsis

This timeout applies to ident (RFC 1413) requests made to client hosts. Squid makes ident lookups for one of two reasons: to satisfy an ACL check or for logging in access.log. In the ACL case, Squid blocks the request until the ident lookup returns, or this timeout occurs. When only logging, Squid doesn’t block on the ident lookup.

Syntax	ident_timeout `time-specification`
