!!! 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"
```txt
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 headerFieldoption.
