|
|
- Supports multiple domains/subdomains by dynamically generating redirect_uri's
|
|
|
|
|
- Allows authentication to be selectively applied/bypassed based on request parameters (see `rules` in [Configuration](#configuration)))
|
|
|
|
|
- Supports use of centralised authentication host/redirect_uri (see `auth-host` in [Configuration](#configuration)))
|
|
|
|
|
- Allows authentication to persist across multiple domains (see [Cookie Domains](#cookie-domains))
|
|
|
|
|
- Supports extended authentication beyond Google token lifetime (see: `-lifetime` in [Configuration](#configuration))

### Option Details
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `auth-host`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set, when a user returns from authentication with a 3rd party provider they will always be forwarded to this host. By using one central host, this means you only need to add this `auth-host` as a valid redirect uri to your 3rd party provider.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The host should be specified without protocol or path, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
--auth-host="auth.example.com"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more details, please also read the [Auth Host Mode](#auth-host-mode), operation mode in the concepts section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please Note - this should be considered advanced usage, if you are having problems please try disabling this option and then re-read the [Auth Host Mode](#auth-host-mode) section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `config`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used to specify the path to a configuration file, can be set multiple times, each file will be read in the order they are passed. Options should be set in an INI format, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
url-path = _oauthpath
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `cookie-domain`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set, if a user successfully completes authentication, then if the host of the original request requiring authentication is a subdomain of a given cookie domain, then the authentication cookie will be set for the higher level cookie domain. This means that a cookie can allow access to multiple subdomains without re-authentication. Can be specificed multiple times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
--cookie-domain="example.com" --cookie-domain="test.org"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if the cookie domain `test.com` has been set, and a request comes in on `app1.test.com`, following authentication the auth cookie will be set for the whole `test.com` domain. As such, if another request is forwarded for authentication from `app2.test.com`, the original cookie will be sent and so the request will be allowed without further authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beware however, if using cookie domains whilst running multiple instances of traefik/traefik-forward-auth for the same domain, the cookies will clash. You can fix this by using a different `cookie-name` in each host/cluster or by using the same `cookie-secret` in both instances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `insecure-cookie`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not using HTTPS between the client and traefik, you will need to pass the `insecure-cookie` option which will mean the `Secure` attribute on the cookie will not be set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `cookie-name`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the name of the cookie set following successful authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: `_forward_auth`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `csrf-cookie-name`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the name of the temporary CSRF cookie set during authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: `_forward_auth_csrf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `default-action`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifies the behavior when a request does not match any [rules](#rules). Valid options are `auth` or `allow`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: `auth` (i.e. all requests require authentication)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `domain`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set, only users matching a given domain will be permitted to access.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, setting `--domain=example.com --domain=test.org` would mean that only users from example.com or test.org will be permitted. So thom@example.com would be allowed but thom@another.com would not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more details, please also read [User Restriction](#user-restriction) in the concepts section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `lifetime`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How long a successful authentication session should last, in seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: `43200` (12 hours)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `url-path`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Customise the path that this service uses to handle the callback following authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Default: `/_oauth`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that when using the default [Overlay Mode](#overlay-mode) requests to this exact path will be intercepted by this service and not forwarded to your application. Use this option (or [Auth Host Mode](#auth-host-mode)) if the default `/_oauth` path will collide with an existing route in your application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `secret`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used to sign cookies authentication, should be a random (e.g. `openssl rand -hex 16`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `whitelist`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When set, only specified users will be permitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, setting `--whitelist=thom@example.com --whitelist=alice@example.com` would mean that only those two exact users will be permitted. So thom@example.com would be allowed but john@example.com would not.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `<name>` can be any string and is only used to group rules together
|
|
|
|
|
- `<param>` can be:
|
|
|
|
|
- `action` - same usage as [`default-action`](#default-action), supported values:

- `rule` - a rule to match a request, this uses traefik's v2 rule parser for which you can find the documentation here: https://docs.traefik.io/v2.0/routing/routers/#rule, supported values are summarised here:
|
|
|
|
|
- ``Headers(`key`, `value`)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``HeadersRegexp(`key`, `regexp`)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``Host(`example.com`, ...)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``HostRegexp(`example.com`, `{subdomain:[a-z]+}.example.com`, ...)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``Method(methods, ...)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``Path(`path`, `/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}`, ...)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``PathPrefix(`/products/`, `/articles/{category}/{id:[0-9]+}`)``
|
|
|
|
|
- ``Query(`foo=bar`, `bar=baz`)``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
rule.1.action = allow
|
|
|
|
|
rule.1.rule = PathPrefix(`/api/public`) && Headers(`Content-Type`, `application/json`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rule.two.action = allow
|
|
|
|
|
rule.two.rule = Path(`/public`)
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the first rule would allow requests that begin with `/api/public` and contain the `Content-Type` header with a value of `application/json`. It would also allow requests that had the exact path `/public`.

## Concepts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### User Restriction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can restrict who can login with the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-domain` - Use this to limit logins to a specific domain, e.g. test.com only
|
|
|
|
|
* `-whitelist` - Use this to only allow specific users to login e.g. thom@test.com only
|
|
|
|
|
* `domain` - Use this to limit logins to a specific domain, e.g. test.com only
|
|
|
|
|
* `whitelist` - Use this to only allow specific users to login e.g. thom@test.com only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note, if you pass `whitelist` then only this is checked and `domain` is effectively ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Cookie Domains
|
|
|
|
|
### Forwarded Headers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can supply a comma separated list of cookie domains, if the host of the original request is a subdomain of any given cookie domain, the authentication cookie will set with the given domain.
|
|
|
|
|
The authenticated user is set in the `X-Forwarded-User` header, to pass this on add this to the `authResponseHeaders` config option in traefik, as shown [here](https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth/blob/master/examples/docker-compose-dev.yml).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if cookie domain is `test.com` and a request comes in on `app1.test.com`, the cookie will be set for the whole `test.com` domain. As such, if another request is forwarded for authentication from `app2.test.com`, the original cookie will be sent and so the request will be allowed without further authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
### Operation Modes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beware however, if using cookie domains whilst running multiple instances of traefik/traefik-forward-auth for the same domain, the cookies will clash. You can fix this by using the same `cookie-secret` in both instances, or using a different `cookie-name` on each.
|
|
|
|
|
#### Overlay Mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Operation Modes
|
|
|
|
|
Overlay is the default operation mode, in this mode the authorisation endpoint is overlayed onto any domain. By default the `/_oauth` path is used, this can be customised using the `url-path` option.

|

|
|
|
1. Request to `www.myapp.com/home`
|
|
|
|
|
2. User redirected to Google login
|
|
|
|
|
3. After Google login, user is redirected to `www.myapp.com/_oauth`
|
|
|
|
|
4. Token, user and CSRF cookie is validated (this request in intercepted and is never passed to your application)
|
|
|
|
|
5. User is redirected to `www.myapp.com/home`
|
|
|
|
|
6. Request is allowed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a request comes in for `www.myapp.com/home` then the user will be redirected to the google login, following this they will be sent back to `www.myapp.com/_oauth`, where their token will be validated (this request will not be forwarded to your application). Following successful authoristion, the user will return to their originally requested url of `www.myapp.com/home`.
|
|
|
|
|
As the hostname in the `redirect_uri` is dynamically generated based on the original request, every hostname must be permitted in the Google OAuth console (e.g. `www.myappp.com` would need to be added in the above example)
|

As the hostname in the `redirect_uri` is dynamically generated based on the orignal request, every hostname must be permitted in the Google OAuth console (e.g. `www.myappp.com` would need to be added in the above example)

This is an optional mode of operation that is useful when dealing with a large number of subdomains, it is activated by using the `-auth-host` config option (see [this example docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth/blob/master/example/docker-compose-auth-host.yml)).

For example, if you have a few applications: `app1.test.com`, `app2.test.com`, `appN.test.com`, adding every domain to Google's console can become laborious.
|
|
|
|
|
To utilise an auth host, permit domain level cookies by setting the cookie domain to `test.com` then set the `auth-host` to: `auth.test.com`.
|
|

|
@ -105,6 +323,8 @@ Two criteria must be met for an `auth-host` to be used:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Request matches given `cookie-domain`
|
|
|
|
|
2. `auth-host` is also subdomain of same `cookie-domain`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note: For Auth Host mode to work, you must ensure that requests to your auth-host are routed to the traefik-forward-auth container, as demonstrated with the service labels in the [docker-compose-auth.yml](https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth/blob/master/examples/docker-compose-auth-host.yml) example.
