I would like to have apache that forwards the call to an internal service (a django app) that returns a True/False (and some parameters maybe) if the user is valid or not. This before forwarding the request to the service that should processes it. Is this possible?
I checked the mods and the one similar to what i would like to do are
- the mod for the db
- and the django auth implementation
The fact is that both uses standard way to do it, such as a query on a table or a Django authorization made with username and password.
In my case I've to satisfy more broad cases, such as a possible login with ID/Key or Oauth or other things. For example i could also add the user to to a cache so at the second login I can get the value from there.
My idea for this would be that Apache forwards a call to an internal system https://localhost/validate that returns a validation value.
Is this possible?
(is this possible with other webserver/reverse proxies?)
