ip_allow.config would also work to allow inbound connections only from specific 
(client) IP addresses. Note that remap works for forward proxy therefore a 
remap.config could force all requests to the target. Alternatively, since 
ip_allow.config now supports outbound controls that could be set to allow 
outbound connections to only that specific IP address.

Why can't you run this as a reverse proxy? Have all your service names in DNS 
point to the same IP running the proxy server, and add appropriate map rules 
for each one to the respective service IP (which are 1918 ranges I assume). You 
then want to require remap n the config she, which disables ATS as an open 
forward proxy.
In this scenario you likely want to enable the pristine host header 
configuration as well.

Hi James 
Yes traffic server has different mechanism to do authentication. Most secure 
way is to make the port as ssl port 
CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_ports STRING 8445:ssl

take a look at the following parameter on how to control client access
CONFIG proxy.config.ssl.client.certification_level INT 2

origin server access can be controlled by writing/modifying plugin. for 
authentication you may consider auth plugin
Thanks~S

I have an application (C# software) that has been running on several clients. 
This application access a webservice from another company (ABC, for instance). 
However, in order to ensure protection, ABC company is now forcing us to use a 
single IP to use its webservice. Therefore, all my C# applications (in several 
different clients) needs to access using same IP. 
I have installed Apache Traffic Server as forward proxy and everything is 
working fine. The problem is that it is working as an open proxy and I know 
this is very risky. 
How can I keep this solution with Traffic Server and add some security?
1. Is it possible to use some form of authenticated requests in Traffic 
Server?2. Is it possible to force the proxy to redirect all access the a 
webservice.abc-company.com domain? Therefore, it would not be an open proxy.
