Auth request module for nginx. This module allows authorization based on subrequest result. Once subrequest returns 2xx status - access is allowed, on 401 or 403 - disabled with appropriate status. Anything else is considered to be an error. For 401 status WWW-Authenticate header from subrequest response will be passed to client. Module works at access phase and therefore may be combined nicely with other access modules (access, auth_basic) via satisfy directive. Configuration directives: auth_request <uri>|off Context: http, server, location Default: off Switches auth request module on and sets uri which will be asked for authorization. Usage: location /private/ { auth_request /auth; ... } location = /auth { proxy_pass ... proxy_pass_request_body off; proxy_set_header Content-Length ""; proxy_set_header X-Original-URI $request_uri; } To compile nginx with auth request module, use "--add-module <path>" option to nginx configure. Development of this module was sponsored by Openstat (http://www.openstat.com/).
