Can't figure out a way to do this ... #246

Open bananabr opened 4 months ago

bananabr commented 4 months ago

Would it be possible to write an application that acts like a server/proxy in a way that, it accepts every bind request, binds itself to a backend server with a hardcoded credential, and just proxy requests and responses from that point on?

Thanks for all your help!

Yes. You'd just need to intercept BIND requests and stop those from being proxied to the back end. If you want the front end to be authenticated somehow-- you'd need to figure out what you are authenticating against and arrange that on a BIND request. If the clients are never expected to BIND, you could just treat all BIND requests as failures.
