1 Auth request module for nginx. | |
2 | |
3 This module allows authorization based on subrequest result. Once subrequest | |
4 returns 2xx status - access is allowed, on 401 or 403 - disabled with | |
5 appropriate status. Anything else is considered to be an error. | |
6 | |
7 For 401 status WWW-Authenticate header from subrequest response will be | |
8 passed to client. | |
9 | |
10 Configuration directives: | |
11 | |
12 auth_request <uri>|off | |
13 | |
14 Context: http, server, location | |
15 Default: off | |
16 | |
17 Switches auth request module on and sets uri which will be asked for | |
18 authorization. | |
19 | |
20 Usage: | |
21 | |
22 location /private/ { | |
23 auth_request /auth; | |
24 ... | |
25 } | |
26 | |
27 location = /auth { | |
28 proxy_pass ... | |
29 } | |
