# BasicAuth
Adding Basic Authentication
{: .subtitle }
![BasicAuth](../assets/img/middleware/basicauth.png)
The BasicAuth middleware is a quick way to restrict access to your services to known users.
## Configuration Examples
```yaml tab="Docker"
# Declaring the user list
labels:
- "traefik.http.middlewares.declared-users-only.basicauth.users=test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/,test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0",
```
```toml tab="File"
# Declaring the user list
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.test-auth.basicauth]
users = ["test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/",
"test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0"]
```
## Configuration Options
### General
Passwords must be encoded using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt.
!!! tip
Use `htpasswd` to generate the passwords.
### users
The `users` option is an array of authorized users. Each user will be declared using the `name:encoded-password` format.
!!! Note
If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The content of `usersFile` has precedence over `users`.
### usersFile
The `usersFile` option is the path to an external file that contains the authorized users for the middleware.
The file content is a list of `name:encoded-password`.
??? example "A file containing test/test and test2/test2"
```
test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/
test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0
```
!!! 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.basicauth]
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`.)
