I see. Still, is there an example of authenticating an Http connection in lua? im fairly certan i can do a JWT implementation
and for LDAP, it may still easyer to proxy a simple (non-ldap) message over a socket, and write a bridge to ldap daemon in something thats not lua. (use at your own risk/understanding/vetting) kind of like this https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/backend-pipe/ (i know thats not for auth, but same concept) ----- Original Message ----- From: "thierry fournier" <[email protected]> To: "Baptiste" <[email protected]> Cc: "Grant Haywood" <[email protected]>, "Igor Cicimov" <[email protected]>, "HAProxy" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 5, 2015 3:36:32 PM Subject: Re: lua authentication Hi, I complement, I would say, that the Lua bindings for the standard Openldap client exists, but unfortunately, the operation is blocking, and doesn't run very well with HAProxy. It seems that a Lua rewrite of the LDAP protocol using standard Lua HAProxy socket is a solution, but this is a big development. Maybe a partial implementation (juste the binding) will be usefull.
