# ForwardAuth
Using an External Service to Check for Credentials
{: .subtitle }
![AuthForward](../assets/img/middleware/authforward.png)
The ForwardAuth middleware delegate the authentication to an external service.
If the service response code is 2XX, access is granted and the original request is performed.
Otherwise, the response from the authentication server is returned.
## Configuration Examples
```toml tab="File"
# Forward authentication to authserver.com
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth]
address = "https://authserver.com/auth"
trustForwardHeader = true
authResponseHeaders = ["X-Auth-User", "X-Secret"]
[http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth.tls]
ca = "path/to/local.crt"
caOptional = true
cert = "path/to/foo.cert"
key = "path/to/foo.key"
```
```yaml tab="Docker"
# Forward authentication to authserver.com
