## Support
|
|
|
|
### Standard
|
|
|
|
Standard support includes the essential features in securing an application with Authelia such as:
|
|
|
|
- Redirecting users to the Authelia portal if they are not authenticated.
|
|
- Redirecting users to the target application after authentication has occurred successfully.
|
|
|
|
It does not include actually running Authelia as a service behind the proxy, any proxy should be compatible with serving
|
|
the Authelia portal itself. Standard support is only important for protected applications.
|
|
|
|
### Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
While proxies that generally support Authelia outside a [Kubernetes] cluster, there are a few situations where that does
|
|
not translate to being possible when used as an [Ingress Controller]. There are various reasons for this such as the
|
|
reverse proxy in question does not even support running as a [Kubernetes] [Ingress Controller], or the required modules
|
|
to perform authentication transparently to the user are not typically available inside a cluster.
|
|
|
|
More information about [Kubernetes] deployments of Authelia can be read in the
|
|
[documentation](../deployment/deployment-kubernetes.md).
|
|
|
|
### XHR Redirect
|
|
|
|
XML HTTP Requests do not typically redirect browsers when returned 30x status codes. Instead, the standard method is to
|
|
return a 401 status code with a Location header. While this may seem trivial; currently there isn't wide support for it.
|
|
For example nginx's ngx_http_auth_request_module does not seem to support this in any way.
|
|
|
|
### Request Method
|
|
|
|
Authelia detects the upstream request method using the X-Forwarded-Method header. Some proxies set this out of the box,
|
|
some require you to configure this manually. At the present time all proxies that have
|
|
[Standard Support](#standard-support) do support this.
|
|
|
|
## Specific proxy notes
|
|
|
|
### HAProxy
|
|
|
|
[HAProxy] is only supported via a lua [module](https://github.com/haproxytech/haproxy-lua-http). Lua is typically not
|
|
available in [Kubernetes]. You would likely have to build your own [HAProxy] image.
|
|
|
|
### Envoy
|
|
|
|
[Envoy] is currently not documented however we believe it is likely to be technically supported. This should be possible
|
|
via [Envoy]'s [external authorization](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/filters/http/ext_authz/v3/ext_authz.proto.html#extensions-filters-http-ext-authz-v3-extauthz).
|
|
|
|
### Caddy
|
|
|
|
[Work](https://github.com/authelia/caddy-forwardauth) is being done to support Caddy 2.x, however this is a low
|
|
priority. You can see the progress and try it for yourself if you're interested. Regular feedback would accelerate this
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
### Apache
|
|
|
|
[Apache] has no module that supports this kind of authentication method. It's not certain this would even be possible,
|
|
however if anyone did something like this in the past we'd be interested in a contribution.
|
|
|
|
### IIS
|
|
|
|
Microsoft [IIS] not currently supported since no auth module exists for this purpose out-of-the-box or from any known
|
|
third party. It's likely possible but unlikely to be highly used so there is little to be gained by supporting this proxy.
