We're frequently being asked to use authentication providers other than Active Directory for securing and providing access to FME Server, eg. Cognito, Azure AD.

Has anyone attempted to use nginx to reverse proxy to FME Server and handle the authentication via SAML? Is there a way to get around the double login (e,g, login to nginx, and then login to FME Server)? Could you create a role that has very limited access (or use a FME Server app with a long expiry token) to get around the double login and provide basic access?

User -> nginx reverse proxy (authenticated) -> FME Server
