URL filtering

endpoint — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 16:15:43 GMT

Hi, we have a web server behind the firewall running different services. On of the services is called admin, allowing certain users access to admin page of the server. We need to provide a sort of url filtering. eg. access to www.webserver.com/admin not allowed, access to www.webserver.com/data allowed. We cannot put different ports for differnt context. Is is possible to do this kind of filtering on traffic comming to the firewall from the Internet? Thanks

thanks for the link, unfortunatelly i need to perform other way around: from the internet i need to allow access to www.test.com/admin and prevent access to www.test.com.data

The web server is behind ASA and cannot change port numbers on web server.

Any other ideas?

you can still do regex url filtering, just apply it in the appropriate direction.
