Hi, I'd like to use haproxy as login portal, has anyone done a configuration like that?
I've got some users connecting from dynamic IPs to access a 3rd party content management system which I don't want to expose globally and would like to authenticate them not by IP, but by session/actual user before they actually can try to login to the real system. My idea is that haproxy is forwarding all unauthenticated requests to a portal server, and after successfully logging in, that system sets a specific cookie which I can match to in haproxy and forward authenticated users to the real server. It's not possible to access stick-tables from a external source, e.g. via admin socket for this, correct? Maybe I could code the login portal in LUA and write to a data structure? This is just a quick idea, I didn't look deeply into this yet, and was wondering if anyone had done it before or has some ideas. :) Best regards, craig
