# DigestAuth
Adding Digest Authentication
{: .subtitle }
![BasicAuth](../assets/img/middleware/digestauth.png)
The DigestAuth middleware is a quick way to restrict access to your services to known users.
## Configuration Examples
??? example "File -- Declaring the user list"
```toml
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.test-auth.digestauth]
users = ["test:traefik:a2688e031edb4be6a3797f3882655c05",
"test2:traefik:518845800f9e2bfb1f1f740ec24f074e"]
```
??? example "Docker -- Using an external file for the authorized users"
```yml
a-container:
image: a-container-image
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.declared-users-only.digestauth.usersFile=path-to-file.ext",
```
!!! tip
Use `htdigest` to generate passwords.
## Configuration Options
### Users
The `users` option is an array of authorized users. Each user will be declared using the `name:realm:encoded-password` format.
!!! Note
If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The content of `usersFile` has precedence over `users`.
### UsersFile
The `usersFile` option is the path to an external file that contains the authorized users for the middleware.
The file content is a list of `name:realm:encoded-password`.
??? example "A file containing test/test and test2/test2"
```
test:traefik:a2688e031edb4be6a3797f3882655c05
test2:traefik:518845800f9e2bfb1f1f740ec24f074e
```
!!! Note
If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The content of `usersFile` has precedence over `users`.
### Realm
You can customize the realm for the authentication with the `realm` option. The default value is `traefik`.
### HeaderField
You can customize the header field for the authenticated user using the `headerField`option.
??? example "File -- Passing Authenticated Users to Services Via Headers"
```toml
[http.middlewares.my-auth.digestauth]
usersFile = "path-to-file.ext"
headerField = "X-WebAuth-User" # header for the authenticated user
```
### RemoveHeader
Set the `removeHeader` option to `true` to remove the authorization header before forwarding the request to your service. (Default value is `false`.)
