So you need to check if a user is authorized for an object (which may or may
not already be cached by Varnish) by means of an external application.
(Sharepoint)
Something along the lines perhaps?
###################################
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url ~ "^/authorized_content") {
if (req.restarts == 0) {
set req.backend = authorization_backend;
return(pass);
} else {
set req.backend = real_backend;
set req.url = regsub(req.url, "_authorize_me", "");
}
}
}
sub vcl_fetch {
if (req.url ~ "^/authorized_content" && req.restarts == 0) {
if (beresp.status == 200) {
restart;
} else {
error 403 "Not authorized";
}
}
}
###################################
Part of the problem is, Varnish doesn't know what's authorized and it will have
to check every request to ensure a request is in fact authorized for the given
content.
Other than the above brief example, you could possibly create a vmod that
caches responses from the `authorization_backend` and uses that for future
requests. (if one doesn't exist already)
