Hi Oli, Thanks for the response. I know I posted this a while back ago but I would like to pick up this discussion again just to get some feedback about a general strategy to setup a reverse proxy with WS-Federation support. There seems to be at least one company that provides an Apache mod that will kick off a WS-Federation Passive Requester flow for protected resources. However, the license provided by said company is not very friendly.
I would prefer to use something with a nice Apache license (like Fediz). The problem is that the Fediz plug-in support is for web containers (Tomcat, Jetty, etc.) and using web containers as a reverse proxy does not seem to be a very popular solution. There are a few projects out there that will turn a web container into a reverse proxy but predominantly people seem to use Apache, or IIS, or NGINX as reverse proxy solutions. So it looks like I'll have to write my own Apache mod unless you can point me in some other direction. On the other hand perhaps I'm looking in the wrong direction. Maybe putting the WS-Federation logic in a reverse-proxy does not make sense? My thoughts is that it makes it convenient to setup a solution without having to touch the web application tier. I would appreciate any further thoughts you might have on this subject. -- View this message in context: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/Fediz-With-Reverse-Proxy-tp5731139p5732187.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
