“Nginx has fastcgi responder support but not the “authorizer” mode
needed for the filter. Until this support exists nginx cannot be used in
this way.”
Can anyone confirm that is still the case? If so, are there any plans
to remedy this situation? If not, please say, I just need to let
someone else know.

Confirmed: nginx doesn’t support fastcgi authorizer role (as well
as fastcgi filter role).
There are no plans to fix this. If you need functionality mostly
identical to fastcgi authorizers (but not bound to fastcgi), you
may want to take a look at auth_request module,
I need to implement shebboleth SP with nginx webserver but got to know
that
nginx doesn’t support autorizer mode.
I saw that the above post is dated very old.
I would like to check whether this is still the case or has there been
any
fix provided from nginx for this ?
Is there any way this can be achieved ?
