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.
