# ForwardAuth
|
|
|
|
Using an External Service to Forward Authentication
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
![AuthForward](../assets/img/middleware/authforward.png)
|
|
|
|
The ForwardAuth middleware delegates authentication to an external service.
|
|
If the service answers with a 2XX code, access is granted, and the original request is performed.
|
|
Otherwise, the response from the authentication server is returned.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Examples
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
# Forward authentication to example.com
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth.address=https://example.com/auth"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
# Forward authentication to example.com
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1

The following request properties are provided to the forward-auth target endpoint as `X-Forwarded-` headers.
|
|
|
|
| Property | Forward-Request Header |
|
|
|-------------------|------------------------|
|
|
| HTTP Method | X-Forwarded-Method |

|
| Host | X-Forwarded-Host |
|
|
| Request URI | X-Forwarded-Uri |

|
|
|
|
### `authResponseHeaders`
|
|
|
|
The `authResponseHeaders` option is the list of headers to copy from the authentication server response and set on
|
|
forwarded request, replacing any existing conflicting headers.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth.authResponseHeaders=X-Auth-User, X-Secret"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
|
|

|

|
|

forwardAuth:
|

|
|
[http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardAuth]
|
|
address = "https://example.com/auth"
|
|
authResponseHeaders = ["X-Auth-User", "X-Secret"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
http:
|
|
middlewares:

|
|
- "X-Secret"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `authResponseHeadersRegex`
|
|
|
|
The `authResponseHeadersRegex` option is the regex to match headers to copy from the authentication server response and
|
|
set on forwarded request, after stripping all headers that match the regex.
|
|
It allows partial matching of the regular expression against the header key.
|
|
The start of string (`^`) and end of string (`$`) anchors should be used to ensure a full match against the header key.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth.authResponseHeadersRegex=^X-"

```
|
|
|
|
### `authRequestHeaders`
|
|
|
|
The `authRequestHeaders` option is the list of the headers to copy from the request to the authentication server.
|
|
It allows filtering headers that should not be passed to the authentication server.
|
|
If not set or empty then all request headers are passed.
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.forwardauth.authRequestHeaders=Accept,X-CustomHeader"

```
|
|
|
|
### `tls`
|
|
|
|
The `tls` option is the TLS configuration from Traefik to the authentication server.
|
|
|
|
#### `tls.ca`
|
|
|
|
Certificate Authority used for the secured connection to the authentication server.
|
|

```yaml tab="Docker"

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### `tls.caOptional`
|
|
|
|
The value of `tls.caOptional` defines which policy should be used for the secure connection with TLS Client Authentication to the authentication server.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning ""
|
|
|
|
If `tls.ca` is undefined, this option will be ignored, and no client certificate will be requested during the handshake. Any provided certificate will thus never be verified.
|
|
|
|
When this option is set to `true`, a client certificate is requested during the handshake but is not required. If a certificate is sent, it is required to be valid.
|
|
|
|
When this option is set to `false`, a client certificate is requested during the handshake, and at least one valid certificate should be sent by the client.

!!! info
|
|
|
|
For security reasons, the field does not exist for Kubernetes IngressRoute, and one should use the `secret` field instead.
|
|
|
|
#### `tls.insecureSkipVerify`
|
|
|
|
If `insecureSkipVerify` is `true`, the TLS connection to the authentication server accepts any certificate presented by the server regardless of the hostnames it covers.
