Hello,I would like to use Apache in a rather obscure way and I hope you guys can give me some insight on how to solve the problem I am facing.
Basically I would like to install Apache as reverse proxy in front of two Tomcat servers (siteA and siteB) and let Apache perform some sort of Single-Sign On. This means that I would like to perform a Basic Auth for accessing siteA and give a user access to siteB if (and only if) he has been successfully authenticated to siteA before. Of course I could use the same realm for both sites and thus achieve some sort of easy login for both apps. However I would like to send a forbidden message to the user if he tries to access siteB directly which is not possible with the same realm. I thought of some mod_rewrite magic but I am unsure how this could be done and whether the look-ahead function could be useful. Any ideas on this?
Thanks and bye, Werner. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
