I have a number of testbed wiki pages at work (dokuwiki) and a problem reporting system (mantisbt) on a machine I administrate that is used as a simulation workhorse...
What I would like to do is make use of the $remote_user variable within nginx.conf to permit accessing an nginx location
| Code: | location /cow {
# if ($remote_user not in cow_sso) {
# return 444;
# }
index doku.php;
return 301 http://$host/barn/cow/doku.php;
} |
Take for instance the above test location /cow (which is a dokuwiki animal), if the $remote_user was part of a whitelist they would be able to see the site.
This is part of an intranet so $remote_user has already (to a degree) been validated. NOTE this isn't for security-based access as this is then covered later on via actual accounts.
Essentially this is a stop-gap until a request for an LDAP BIND password is approved while making a service available to a shortlist of people without "yet another username"
