I've got... a strange customer request.
They have a specific custom site that requires authentication. I cannot make changes to this site.
They are showing a specific page from that site on a web-capable TV as a sort of "status panel". The problem is... they're annoyed they have to type in the login credentials every time the TV is powered on.
As such, I was thinking about creating some kind of reverse-proxy that doesn't use authentication (i.e. anonymous) and then passes on pre-fixed credentials when accessing the target site (if I recall the target site uses Windows auth). I could then set up Windows Firewall rules to only permit the TV access to the proxy (to keep things fairly secure).
Is such a thing possible in IIS? I know a reverse-proxy can be set up in IIS using Url Rewrite and Application Based Routing, but I'm not sure about the credentials bit (which, in the end, is the most important).
