hello, I need to setup an authentication server as follows: +-----------+ __________ +----------------+ | | ( ) | | | CLIENT +---{ INTERNET }---+ AUTHENTICATION | | | (__________) | | +-----------+ +--------+-------+ | +------------------+---------------+--+ | | | +---+--------+ +---+--------+ +---+--------+ | | | | | | | SERVER 1 | | SERVER 2 | | SERVER 3 | | | | | | | +------------+ +------------+ +------------+ The clients should be able to authenticate themselves with user / password, and then, the authentication server opens connection for this specific client to some servers / ports. Some notes about the clients: * The clients are around the world, so I am not able to install specific software, most of them are windooze users. Authentication should be possible over http / java. * Also, the clients can come from the same ip, especially, if some of them work in the same company and are surfing the net over a gateway which does nat. Any hints in which direction I could go? I looked at squid / openldap but I am not sure, if squid is possible to do something like this. I would appreciate your comments Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe email security-discuss-request@linuxsecurity.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject of the message.
