Yeah, docker containers have kibana and a couple other similar web services

Are the docker containers running webservers, or are you sending RPC-like 
commands that (in effect) exec something in the docker?

Here's an example of how the above would be achieved with 
Nginx: 
https://github.com/shopware/devdocs/blob/master/source/blog/_posts/2015-03-02-sso-with-nginx-auth_request.md.

So, in web2py you just need to set up an action to check for login and 
return either a 200 response or a 401 or 403. Nginx will then check that 
action on each request and manage the redirect to the web2py login page if 
the user is not logged in. This is still not the most efficient approach, 
as every request is still hitting web2py. Using web2py as a CAS provider is 
probably better, though it will require the other apps to implement an 
authentication check and redirect to the web2py application for login, etc.

Got it. Another option might be to proxy directly from Nginx to the other 
apps, and just use web2py as a CAS provider for authentication 
(see 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control#Central-Authentication-Service).

Hi Anthony and LoveWeb2py,

I used this controller exactly to let authenticated and authorized users 
access to a third part application not exposed to the web, I shared in 
order to collect opinions from experts, any suggest appreciated.


Cheers

Is there some web2py specific operations you need to happen between 
the client and the destination server (e.g., web2py 
authentication/authorization)? Otherwise, web2py is probably not the 
most efficient way to proxy HTTP requests. How are you serving web2py 
itself?

We serve web2py through nginx.

I'm curious how django was able to do it.  We have multiple apps running in 
docker containers and want web2py to be the portal.  That way we can use auth.

I don't think so.

I want to make web2py the single interface to multiple applications.


Can you explain further what you are trying to do? Why not use 
something like Nginx as a reverse proxy?
