Anything is possible, but would be complex to do for forward proxy authentication. This has more to do though with how forward proxy auth works, not as much about SSLO itself.

 

But it's definitely doable for reverse proxy auth (like ASM in the service chain). Your options here then would be to layer APM in front of SSLO, or have APM inside the service chain.
