Hi We have a couple different services running in different machines, web servers/wep applications. We would like to have a Single Sign-On (SSO) in front of these servers, now they have their own accounts + passwords, eg. login pages. So i am asking is there any good SSO modules for nginx to use for or any help how we can make it happen?

Hi there, Any luck on this topic? I’m trying to see if we can achieve exactly the same scenario.

You can authenticate and authorize from within some perl handler, where you can set variables and pass them to upstream through internal redirect. It’s not perfect and maybe even ugly, but should work. Proper solution would be to use scripted access handler, which is doable with 3rd party modules/distributions.
