| # BasicAuth
 | |
| 
 | |
| Adding Basic Authentication
 | |
| {: .subtitle }
 | |
| 
 | |
| The BasicAuth middleware grants access to services to authorized users only.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configuration Examples
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | |
| # Declaring the user list
 | |
| #
 | |
| # Note: when used in docker-compose.yml all dollar signs in the hash need to be doubled for escaping.
 | |
| # To create user:password pair, it's possible to use this command:
 | |
| # echo $(htpasswd -nB user) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g
 | |
| #
 | |
| # Also note that dollar signs should NOT be doubled when they are not being evaluated (e.g. Ansible docker_container module).
 | |
| labels:
 | |

 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
 | |
| # Declaring the user list
 | |
| apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
 | |
| kind: Middleware
 | |
| metadata:

|   name: test-auth

 | |
|           - "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| # Declaring the user list
 | |

 | |
|   [http.middlewares.test-auth.basicAuth]
 | |
|   users = [
 | |
|     "test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/",
 | |
|     "test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0",
 | |
|   ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configuration Options
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### General
 | |
| 
 | |
| Passwords must be hashed using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt.
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! tip
 | |
| 
 | |
|     Use `htpasswd` to generate the passwords.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `users`
 | |
| 
 | |
| The `users` option is an array of authorized users. Each user must be declared using the `name:hashed-password` format.
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! note ""
 | |
| 
 | |
|     - If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The contents of `usersFile` have precedence over the values in `users`.
 | |
|     - For security reasons, the field `users` doesn't exist for Kubernetes IngressRoute, and one should use the `secret` field instead.
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! note "Kubernetes kubernetes.io/basic-auth secret type"
 | |
|     
 | |
|     Kubernetes supports a special `kubernetes.io/basic-auth` secret type.
 | |
|     This secret must contain two keys: `username` and `password`.
 | |
|     Please note that these keys are not hashed or encrypted in any way, and therefore is less secure than other methods.
 | |
|     You can find more information on the [Kubernetes Basic Authentication Secret Documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#basic-authentication-secret)

 | |
|     ]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `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:hashed-password`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| !!! note ""
 | |
| 
 | |
|     - If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The contents of `usersFile` have precedence over the values in `users`.
 | |
|     - Because it does not make much sense to refer to a file path on Kubernetes, the `usersFile` field doesn't exist for Kubernetes IngressRoute, and one should use the `secret` field instead.

 | |
|     ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `realm`
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can customize the realm for the authentication with the `realm` option. The default value is `traefik`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | |
| labels:
 | |
|   - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.basicauth.realm=MyRealm"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
 | |
| apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
 | |
| kind: Middleware
 | |
| metadata:
 | |
|   name: test-auth
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|   basicAuth:
 | |
|     realm: MyRealm
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```json tab="Consul Catalog"
 | |
| - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.basicauth.realm=MyRealm"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| http:
 | |
|   middlewares:
 | |
|     test-auth:
 | |
|       basicAuth:

|         realm: "MyRealm"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [http.middlewares]
 | |
|   [http.middlewares.test-auth.basicAuth]
 | |
|     realm = "MyRealm"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `headerField`
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can define a header field to store the authenticated user using the `headerField`option.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | |
| labels:
 | |
|   - "traefik.http.middlewares.my-auth.basicauth.headerField=X-WebAuth-User"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
 | |
| apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
 | |
| kind: Middleware
 | |
| metadata:
 | |
|   name: my-auth
 | |
| spec:
 | |
|   basicAuth:
 | |
|     # ...
 | |
|     headerField: X-WebAuth-User
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```json tab="Consul Catalog"
 | |
| - "traefik.http.middlewares.my-auth.basicauth.headerField=X-WebAuth-User"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | |
| http:
 | |
|   middlewares:
 | |
|     my-auth:
 | |
|       basicAuth:
 | |
|         # ...
 | |
|         headerField: "X-WebAuth-User"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | |
| [http.middlewares.my-auth.basicAuth]
 | |
|   # ...
 | |
|   headerField = "X-WebAuth-User"
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### `removeHeader`
 | |
| 
 | |
| Set the `removeHeader` option to `true` to remove the authorization header before forwarding the request to your service. (Default value is `false`.)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | |
| labels:
 | |
|   - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-auth.basicauth.removeheader=true"
 | |
| ```
 | |
