Hi All, We have nginx1.4.7 with ngx_http_auth_request_module and ngx_http_auth_basic_module besides few other modules. There are few other modules also, but have mentioned above two modules only due to relevance to this discussion.
Our application requires to have local user (meaning - store user name and passwd and authenticate at our server) and remote user (meaning - delegate authentication to remote servers like Radius/TACACS+, in this case, our application is aware of only user name and which remote server to send authentication request). The goal is to configure nginx as following: 1. Configure nginx to prompt username/passwd 2. Once user enters username and passwd, get access to these fields and pass to our web application which looks at local database and decides whether user is local or remote. 3. If user is local, authenticate using ngx_http_auth_basic_module (htpasswd style) 4. If user is remote, delegate authentication to remote server using ngx_http_auth_request_module 5. Once authentication is successful (either in step 3 or step 4), pass control back to our application for some book-keeping 6. Let authenticated user access application Any suggestions how do we configure nginx to achieve above? please share your thoughts/ideas/sample configs etc. Regards, Hari
