Support for authentication middleware (eg: oauth2-proxy) ?

[marco-m-pix4d]

Hello,

probably best way to explain is to have a look at the Architecture diagram of oauth2-proxy and see the image on the right: "Oauth 2 proxy as authentication middleware", although the feature is not exclusive to oauth2-proxy.

Both nginx and Caddy support this concept. Nginx calls it auth_request; Caddy calls it forward_auth.

Only mention of this feature I found is a ticket from 2016: #64.

Are there any plans to support this feature? If no, I can totally understand :-)

Thanks!

Hi @marco-m-pix4d,

There are no current plans to implement authentication middleware but it is an interesting concept. The left diagram is interesting, I will have a test of that in my own home lab. As for the middleware style on the right, if it could be done in a way fitting with Fabio's lightweight style it would be a welcome addition to the project.

Thanks,

T.
