Open SSO Authentication

Problem this snippet solves:

A simple "Policy Agent" iRule that ensures that all incoming HTTP requests are authenticated against the OpenSSO server(s). I am by no means an iRule programmer, so I'm sure this can be optimized. So far it has been working for me, but if you find any bugs please let me know!

Code :

# OpenSSO "Policy Agent" that merely checks that the incoming request is from an authenticated
# user.  If not, the user is redirected to the appropriate Login UI until a valid SSO token
# is received
#
# this iRule is just a modified version of the code present by "deb" at
# http://devcentral.f5.com/s/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=105

when RULE_INIT {
# set up the global variables we will need throughout the course of this iRule
# most of the customization to handle your specific deployment should be made here

set ::ckname "iPlanetDirectoryPro"

set domain ".example.com"
set expired_token "$::ckname=\"LOGOUT\"; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2000 23
set expired_amlb "amlbcookie=\"LOGOUT\"; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2000 23
set ::expired_cookies " Set-Cookie $expired_token Set-Cookie $expired_amlb"

# done with the intermediate strings now
unset domain
unset expired_token
unset expired_amlb

set ::loginUI "https://distauth.example.com:3443/da/UI/Login?goto=%s"

set ::valid_string "boolean=true"
}

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
# when the user has been authenticated, this will be set to the valid token
set validCookie ""
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
# these are the incoming HTTP requests which we have not checked yet. check against
# the OpenSSO server to ensure this is an authenticated user

if {[HTTP::cookie exists $::ckname]} {
set tokenid [string trimleft [HTTP::cookie value $::ckname] "\""]
set tokenid [string trimright "$tokenid" "\""]

if {[string length $validCookie] > 0 && $validCookie eq $tokenid} {
pool pool_policyagent
} else {
set validCookie ""

# if client hasn't already been validated, save the
# request so we can replay it to the LB server later
set LB_request [HTTP::request]

# inject lookup URI in place of original request
HTTP::uri "/opensso/identity/isTokenValid?tokenid=[URI::encode $tokenid]"

# and send the out-of-band validation query to the OpenSSO pool.
pool pool_opensso
}
} else {
# this request doesnt even have a token to validate, so we need to redirect the the Login UI
HTTP::redirect [format "$::loginUI" [URI::encode "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"]]
}
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
# If validCookie is empty in response event, this is the response
# to the opensso check, so we collect entire payload (up to 16byte limit)
# to evaluate the OpenSSO response and to prevent this response
# from being returned to the client.
# Already-validated connections will bypass the rest of the rule.

if {[string length $validCookie] <= 0} {
if {[HTTP::header exists Content-Length] && ([HTTP::header Content-Length] < 16)} {
set clength [HTTP::header Content-Length]
} else {
set clength 16
}

HTTP::collect $clength
}
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {
# HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA will only be triggered for an OpenSSO check.
# (All other requests have already been forwarded to the Policy Agent pool.)
# If response from OpenSSO indicates authentication, save the token
# and replay the original request to the Policy Agent pool. Otherwise, clear
# the users cookies and redirect to the Login UI

if {[HTTP::payload] contains $::valid_string} {
pool pool_policyagent
HTTP::retry $LB_request

# assume all further requests with this token are valid
regexp {iPlanetDirectoryPro=\"([^\s]*)\"[;]?} $LB_request totalMatch validCookie
unset totalMatch
} else {
# if we had a cookie, we dont now
set validCookie ""

# remove the invalid cookies and redirect to LoginUI
regexp {Host: ([^\s\t]*)\s} $LB_request totalMatch host
regexp {[GET|POST] (/.*) HTTP} $LB_request totalMatch uri
unset totalMatch

HTTP::respond 302 Location [format "$::loginUI" [URI::encode "https://$host$uri"]] $::expired_cookies
}
}

We often mention that the benefits derived from some application delivery controllers are due to the nature of being a full proxy. And in the same breath we might mention reverse, half, and forward proxies, which makes the technology sound more like a description of the positions on a sports team than an application delivery solution. So what does these terms really mean? Here's the lowdown on the different kinds of proxies in one concise guide.

PROXIES

Proxies (often called intermediaries in the SOA world) are hardware or software solutions that sit between the client and the server and do something to requests and sometimes responses. The most often heard use of the term proxy is in conjunction with anonymizing Web surfing. That's because proxies sit between your browser and your desired destination and proxy the connection; that is you talk to the proxy while the proxy talks to the web server and neither you nor the web server know about each other.

Proxies are not all the same. Some are half proxies, some are full proxies; some are forward and some are reverse. Yes, that came excruciatingly close to sounding like a Dr. Seuss book. (Go ahead, you know you want to. You may even remember this from .. .well, when it was first circulated.)

FORWARD PROXIES

Forward proxies are probably the most well known of all proxies, primarily because most folks have dealt with them either directly or indirectly. Forward proxies are those proxies that sit between two networks, usually a private internal network and the public Internet. Forward proxies have also traditionally been employed by large service providers as a bridge between their isolated network of subscribers and the public Internet, such as CompuServe and AOL in days gone by. These are often referred to as \"mega-proxies\" because they managed such high volumes of traffic.

Forward proxies are generally HTTP (Web) proxies that provide a number of services but primarily focus on web content filtering and caching services. These forward proxies often include authentication and authorization as a part of their product to provide more control over access to public content. If you've ever gotten a web page that says \"Your request has been denied by blah blah blah. If you think this is an error please contact the help desk/your administrator\" then you've probably used a forward proxy.

REVERSE PROXIES

A reverse proxy is less well known, generally because we don't use the term anymore to describe products used as such. Load balancers (application delivery controllers) and caches are good examples of reverse proxies. Reverse proxies sit in front of web and application servers and process requests for applications and content coming in from the public Internet to the internal, private network. This is the primary reason for the appellation \"reverse\" proxy - to differentiate it from a proxy that handles outbound requests.

Reverse proxies are also generally focused on HTTP but in recent years have expanded to include a number of other protocols commonly used on the web such as streaming audio (RTSP), file transfers (FTP), and generally any application protocol capable of being delivered via UDP or TCP.

HALF PROXIES

Half-proxy is a description of the way in which a proxy, reverse or forward, handles connections. There are two uses of the term half-proxy: one describing a deployment configuration that affects the way connections are handled and one that describes simply the difference between a first and subsequent connections.

The deployment focused definition of half-proxy is associated with a direct server return (DSR) configuration. Requests are proxied by the device, but the responses do not return through the device, but rather are sent directly to the client. For some types of data - particularly streaming protocols - this configuration results in improved performance. This configuration is known as a half-proxy because only half the connection (incoming) is proxied while the other half, the response, is not.

The second use of the term \"half-proxy\" describes a solution in which the proxy performs what is known as delayed binding in order to provide additional functionality. This allows the proxy to examine the request before determining where to send it. Once the proxy determines where to route the request, the connection between the client and the server are \"stitched\" together. This is referred to as a half-proxy because the initial TCP handshaking and first requests are proxied by the solution, but subsequently forwarded without interception.

Half proxies can look at incoming requests in order to determine where the connection should be sent and can even use techniques to perform layer 7 inspection, but they are rarely capable of examining the responses. Almost all half-proxies fall into the category of reverse proxies.

FULL PROXIES

Full proxy is also a description of the way in which a proxy, reverse or forward, handles connections. A full proxy maintains two separate connections - one between itself and the client and one between itself and the destination server. A full proxy completely understands the protocols, and is itself an endpoint and an originator for the protocols. Full proxies are named because they completely proxy connections - incoming and outgoing.

Because the full proxy is an actual protocol endpoint, it must fully implement the protocols as both a client and a server (a packet-based design does not). This also means the full proxy can have its own TCP connection behavior, such as buffering, retransmits, and TCP options. With a full proxy, each connection is unique; each can have its own TCP connection behavior. This means that a client connecting to the full proxy device would likely have different connection behavior than the full proxy might use for communicating with servers. Full proxies can look at incoming requests and outbound responses and can manipulate both if the solution allows it.

Many reverse and forward proxies use a full proxy model today. There is no guarantee that a given solution is a full proxy, so you should always ask your solution provider if it is important to you that the solution is a full proxy.

We often mention that the benefits derived from some application delivery controllers are due to the nature of being a full proxy. And in the same breath we might mention reverse, half, and forward proxies, which makes the technology sound more like a description of the positions on a sports team than an application delivery solution. So what does these terms really mean? Here's the lowdown on the different kinds of proxies in one concise guide.

PROXIES

Proxies (often called intermediaries in the SOA world) are hardware or software solutions that sit between the client and the server and do something to requests and sometimes responses. The most often heard use of the term proxy is in conjunction with anonymizing Web surfing. That's because proxies sit between your browser and your desired destination and proxy the connection; that is you talk to the proxy while the proxy talks to the web server and neither you nor the web server know about each other.

Proxies are not all the same. Some are half proxies, some are full proxies; some are forward and some are reverse. Yes, that came excruciatingly close to sounding like a Dr. Seuss book. (Go ahead, you know you want to. You may even remember this from .. .well, when it was first circulated.)

FORWARD PROXIES

Forward proxies are probably the most well known of all proxies, primarily because most folks have dealt with them either directly or indirectly. Forward proxies are those proxies that sit between two networks, usually a private internal network and the public Internet. Forward proxies have also traditionally been employed by large service providers as a bridge between their isolated network of subscribers and the public Internet, such as CompuServe and AOL in days gone by. These are often referred to as \"mega-proxies\" because they managed such high volumes of traffic.

Forward proxies are generally HTTP (Web) proxies that provide a number of services but primarily focus on web content filtering and caching services. These forward proxies often include authentication and authorization as a part of their product to provide more control over access to public content. If you've ever gotten a web page that says \"Your request has been denied by blah blah blah. If you think this is an error please contact the help desk/your administrator\" then you've probably used a forward proxy.

REVERSE PROXIES

A reverse proxy is less well known, generally because we don't use the term anymore to describe products used as such. Load balancers (application delivery controllers) and caches are good examples of reverse proxies. Reverse proxies sit in front of web and application servers and process requests for applications and content coming in from the public Internet to the internal, private network. This is the primary reason for the appellation \"reverse\" proxy - to differentiate it from a proxy that handles outbound requests.

Reverse proxies are also generally focused on HTTP but in recent years have expanded to include a number of other protocols commonly used on the web such as streaming audio (RTSP), file transfers (FTP), and generally any application protocol capable of being delivered via UDP or TCP.

HALF PROXIES

Half-proxy is a description of the way in which a proxy, reverse or forward, handles connections. There are two uses of the term half-proxy: one describing a deployment configuration that affects the way connections are handled and one that describes simply the difference between a first and subsequent connections.

The deployment focused definition of half-proxy is associated with a direct server return (DSR) configuration. Requests are proxied by the device, but the responses do not return through the device, but rather are sent directly to the client. For some types of data - particularly streaming protocols - this configuration results in improved performance. This configuration is known as a half-proxy because only half the connection (incoming) is proxied while the other half, the response, is not.

This allows the proxy to examine the request before determining where to send it. Once the proxy determines where to route the request, the connection between the client and the server are \"stitched\" together. This is referred to as a half-proxy because the initial TCP handshaking and first requests are proxied by the solution, but subsequently forwarded without interception.

Half proxies can look at incoming requests in order to determine where the connection should be sent and can even use techniques to perform layer 7 inspection, but they are rarely capable of examining the responses. Almost all half-proxies fall into the category of reverse proxies.

FULL PROXIES
