Apache Reverse Proxy to Backend Server Requiring PHP Auth.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have need to publish content that is hosted on a server that
utilizes PHP authentication.  __It is not using Basic Auth.__

I do not have any access to the configuration of that server.  A
single Username/Password has been provided for all members of our
organization to access its content.

What I would like to do is set up Apache as a reverse proxy that can
authenticate to the backend using the shared Username/Password.  This
proxy instance of Apache will then require all users to authenticate
to itself using Basic HTTP Authentication.

In essence I would like avoid distributing the shared
Username/Password of the backend server to all members of our
organization.  Instead each user will be assigned their own unique
credentials on the reverse proxy instance of Apache.  I have seen
examples of setting this up for a back end that uses Basic Auth.
However, I have been unable to find any examples that outline the
configuration of the reverse proxy to authenticate with the back end
using the form-based login.

If someone could point me toward some relevant documentation, I would
appreciate it.

Brett
