feat(handlers): authorization header switch via query param to /api/verify (#1563)
* [FEATURE] Add auth query param to /api/verify (#1353)

When `/api/verify` is called with `?auth=basic`, use the standard
Authorization header instead of Proxy-Authorization.

* [FIX] Better basic auth error reporting

* [FIX] Return 401 when using basic auth instead of redirecting

* [TESTS] Add tests for auth=basic query param

* [DOCS] Mention auth=basic argument and provide nginx example

* docs: add/adjust basic auth query arg docs for proxies

default HAProxy Proxy Integration Deployment 1

HAProxy

HAProxy is a reverse proxy supported by Authelia.

Requirements

You need the following to run Authelia with HAProxy:

  • HAProxy 1.8.4+ (2.2.0+ recommended)
    • USE_LUA=1 set at compile time
    • haproxy-lua-http must be available within the Lua path
      • A json library within the Lua path (dependency of haproxy-lua-http, usually found as OS package lua-json)
      • With HAProxy 2.1.3+ you can use the [lua-prepend-path] configuration option to specify the search path.
    • haproxy-auth-request

Configuration

Below you will find commented examples of the following configuration:

  • Authelia portal
  • Protected endpoint (Nextcloud)
  • Protected endpoint with Authorization header for basic authentication (Heimdall)
  • haproxy-auth-request

With this configuration you can protect your virtual hosts with Authelia, by following the steps below:

  1. Add host(s) to the protected-frontends or protected-frontends-basic ACLs to support protection with Authelia. You can separate each subdomain with a | in the regex, for example:
    acl protected-frontends hdr(host) -m reg -i ^(?i)(jenkins|nextcloud|phpmyadmin)\.example\.com
    acl protected-frontends-basic hdr(host) -m reg -i ^(?i)(heimdall)\.example\.com
    
  2. Add host ACL(s) in the form of host-service, this will be utilised to route to the correct backend upon successful authentication, for example:
    acl host-jenkins hdr(host) -i jenkins.example.com
    acl host-nextcloud hdr(host) -i nextcloud.example.com
    acl host-phpmyadmin hdr(host) -i phpmyadmin.example.com
    acl host-heimdall hdr(host) -i heimdall.example.com
    
  3. Add backend route for your service(s), for example:
    use_backend be_jenkins if host-jenkins
    use_backend be_nextcloud if host-nextcloud
    use_backend be_phpmyadmin if host-phpmyadmin
    use_backend be_heimdall if host-heimdall
    
  4. Add backend definitions for your service(s), for example:
    backend be_jenkins
        server jenkins jenkins:8080
    backend be_nextcloud
        server nextcloud nextcloud:443 ssl verify none
    backend be_phpmyadmin
        server phpmyadmin phpmyadmin:80
    backend be_heimdall
            server heimdall heimdall:443 ssl verify none
    

Secure Authelia with TLS

There is a known limitation with haproxy-auth-request with regard to TLS-enabled backends. If you want to run Authelia TLS enabled the recommended workaround utilises HAProxy itself to proxy the requests. This comes at a cost of two additional TCP connections, but allows the full HAProxy configuration flexibility with regard to TLS verification as well as header rewriting. An example of this configuration is also be provided below.
