Re: [users@httpd] Reverse proxy: redirect variable by user
Hi Nick, > Otherwise, it would be pretty trivial to implement as a > custom module. Okay, I will have a look at. I assume that is the starting point to use: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/developer/modguide.html >> * Dependend on the identifier (if logged in successfull) a host and >> port should be chossen.

They are > separate backends to the server. What won't work? Let's assume all but a special location (e.g. /control) is proied. The special location is handled locally. This location could contain the login formular and CGI scripts. The example "https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_session.html#basicexamples"; seems that it is possible to inject variables. But I assume you would point me that the server behing the proxy cannot inject session variables to the session handled by HTTPD. Correct?

[users@httpd] Reverse proxy: redirect variable by user
Hi,
I would like to realize an idea using the Apache HTTP Server project.
As I am a beginner at this topic, it would be great if you could give
me some help.
If my reading is correct it should be possible at all.
Short summary: It should be a reverse proxy that choose the redirect
target URL by the logged in user
* If a connection is made to the server (and the user is not logged
it), he needs to fill out a formular and give some informations
(identifier, username, password). I assume this could be realized by
"AuthType form", session, ... (perhaps database lookup using a CGI
script)
* Dependend on the identifier (if logged in successfull) a host and
port should be chossen. I assume this could be realized by a simple
CGI script that (e.g. look into an database) and set host and port
session variables. That session variables should be visible (readable
/ writable) by the server only (mod_session_dbd?).
* If the user is logged in every request should be proxied to another
web server (proxy, redirect [P]) and the host and port information
should be used for.
e.g. http://${HOST}:${PORT}/
* At least this should be work for WebSockets, too.
Do you think this is possible?
Can you help me with the configuration?
Best regards,
Markus
