F5 proxy to external website.
I have a following requirement from the user. otherwise they need to develop a whole application to perform the scenario.
use case: A user requests data from a internalIP://local-news-website ( forwarding this request to externalIP://external-news-website this external news website is paid-for subscription
1) needs to fetch a jwt token by authenticating OAuth/username@password -> use JWT token 2) use the token and send request to externalIP://news site.
)
can this be done just by configuring F5 or do we need a developer to develop an app for this?
(internal news fetch request) <-(resp)-(req)-> (VIP internal/Fqdn register for this IP) <-(resp)-(req)-> (F5 Authenticating and Forwarding the request) <-(resp)-(req)-> (Internet news site)
is this even possible?
Thank you.
