mod proxy mapping file ? is this possible ?
am 18.02.2005 05:15:15 von Christopher SagayamI posted this in dev apache and the saw this specialized group for mod proxy
Thanks
I wish to do the following
1) there will be about 30 computers connected in LAN
2) I intend to use apache mod proxy in one gateway computer say gcomp1
and make all the 30 computers access the internet only THROUGH gcomp1
proxy is needed for ftp, sftp, ssh , smtp, pop , http and https protocols
socks ?
My questions are
1) Is this advisable? Is apache mod proxy better or worse than using
other proxies like socks.nec etc ?
2) Can apache mod proxy (with the addition of necessary modules)
handle all the above 7 protocols ?
3) *the most important* I want the apache mod proxy to be setup this way.
Say a client computer clientcomp1 wants to access an external ftp or
SFTP server ..extserver1
The user in the client computer enters the following details in
his/her sftp/ftp client
hostname: gcomp1 (the local gateway server IP address where apache mod
proxy is working)
username: user214214
pass: 23jjksdhafkhk
and once the sftp/ftp client connects to the apache mod proxy server
gateway gcomp1 the mod proxy apache server needs to forward/proxy this
connection to
extserver1
username: differentusername
password: different password
Maybe A mapping file should be able to configured in mod proxy to let
it know which external server to forward the request for a particular
internal username
like for example
user214214:
extserver1:differentusername:differentpassword
user453646:
extserver2:differentusername2:differentpassword2
and so on
The objective of the whole exercise is to secure all the usernames ,
passwords for the external servers and isolate them from the internal
users fully and completely.
Is the above possible in apache mod proxy ?
If not is there any proxy/gateway available which does the above ?
Thanks
