This is a simple authentication microservice written with the Python Flask framework that is designed to be used with Nginx's auth_request module.
Start the service with:
python server.py [--host=<IP>] [--port=9000] [-d|--debug]
Example Nginx configuration block:
server {
location /protected {
# root /var/www/protected;
# proxy_pass http://protected_server;
auth_request /auth;
error_page 401 = /auth/redirect;
}
location /auth {
internal;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
proxy_pass http://flask-crowd-server:9000;
}
location /auth/redirect {
return 301 /login?next=$scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
}
location /login {
proxy_pass http://flask-crowd-server:9000;
}
}
