lucidAuth

Respect the unexpected, mitigate your risks

Forward Authentication for use with proxies (caddy, nginx, traefik, etc)

Usage

  • Create a new folder, navigate to it in a commandprompt and run the following command:
    git clone https://code.spamasaurus.com/djpbessems/lucidAuth.git

  • Edit include/lucidAuth.config.php.example to reflect your configuration and save as include/lucidAuth.config.php

  • Create a new website (within any php-capable webserver) and make sure that the documentroot points to the public folder

  • Check if you are able to browse to https://<fqdn>/lucidAuth.login.php (where <fqdn> is the actual domain -or IP address- your webserver is listening on)

  • Edit your proxy's configuration to use the new website as forward proxy:

    in Caddy/nginx (planned for a later stage)

    in Traefik

    Add the following lines (change to reflect your existing configuration):

    1.7
    [frontends.server1]
      entrypoints = ["https"]
      backend = "server1"
      [frontends.server1.auth.forward]
        address = "https://<fqdn>/lucidAuth.validateRequest.php"
      [frontends.server1.routes]
        [frontends.server1.routes.ext]
          rule = "Host:<fqdn>"
    
    2.0

    Either whitelist IP's which should be trusted to send HTTP_X-Forwarded-* headers, ór enable insecure-mode in your static configuration:

    entryPoints:
      https:
        address: :443
        forwardedHeaders:
          trustedIPs:
            - "127.0.0.1/32"
            - "192.168.1.0/24"
    #      insecure: true
    

    Define a middleware that tells Traefik to forward requests for authentication in your dynamic file provider:

    https:
      middlewares:
        ldap-authentication:
          forwardAuth:
            address: "https://<fqdn>/lucidAuth.validateRequest.php"
            trustForwardHeader: true
    

    And finally add the new middleware to your service (different methods; this depends on your configuration):

    # as a label (when using Docker provider)
    traefik.http.routers.router1.middlewares: "ldap-authentication@file"
    # as yaml (when using file provider)
    routers:
      router1:
        middlewares:
          - "ldap-authentication"
    
  • Important!

    The domainname of the website made in step 3, needs to match the domainname (ignoring subdomains, if any) of the resource utilizing this authentication proxy.
