# Secrets
|
|
|
|
Configuration of Authelia requires some secrets and passwords.
|
|
Even if they can be set in the configuration file, the recommended
|
|
way to set secrets is to use environment variables as described
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
A secret can be configured using an environment variable with the
|
|
prefix AUTHELIA_ followed by the path of the option capitalized
|
|
and with dots replaced by underscores.
|
|
|
|
For instance the LDAP password is identified by the path
|
|
**authentication_backend.ldap.password**, so this password could
|
|
alternatively be set using the environment variable called
|
|
**AUTHELIA_AUTHENTICATION_BACKEND_LDAP_PASSWORD**.
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of the environment variables which are considered
|
|
secrets and can be defined. Any other option defined using an
|
|
environment variable will not be replaced.
|
|
|
|
* AUTHELIA_JWT_SECRET
|
|
* AUTHELIA_DUO_API_SECRET_KEY
|
|
* AUTHELIA_SESSION_SECRET
|
|
* AUTHELIA_AUTHENTICATION_BACKEND_LDAP_PASSWORD
|
|
* AUTHELIA_NOTIFIER_SMTP_PASSWORD
|
|
* AUTHELIA_SESSION_REDIS_PASSWORD
|
|
* AUTHELIA_STORAGE_MYSQL_PASSWORD
|
|
* AUTHELIA_STORAGE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD
|
|
|
|
## Secrets in configuration file
|
|
|
|
If for some reason you prefer keeping the secrets in the configuration
|
|
file, be sure to apply the right permissions to the file in order to
|
|
prevent secret leaks if an another application gets compromised on your
|
|
server. The UNIX permissions should probably be something like 600.
