Forward Authentication for use with loadbalancers/proxies/webservers (Apache, ~~Caddy~~, Lighttpd, 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 webserver's/proxy's configuration to use the new website for forward authentication:
- #### ~~in Apache~~ <small>(Soon™)</small>
- #### ~~in Caddy~~ <small>(Never, due to lacking functionality)</small>
- #### ~~in Lighttpd~~ <small>(Soon™)</small>
- #### in NGINX
Add the following lines (adjust to reflect your existing configuration - more [details](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-subrequest-authentication/)):
```
http {
#...
server {
#...
location /private/ {
auth_request /auth;
auth_request_set $auth_status $upstream_status;
}
location = /auth {
internal;
proxy_pass https://<fqdn>/lucidAuth.validateRequest.php;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
proxy_set_header X-Original-URI $request_uri;
}
}
}
```
- #### in Traefik
Add the following lines (change to reflect your existing configuration):
##### 1.7.x (more [details](https://docs.traefik.io/v1.7/configuration/entrypoints/#forward-authentication))
```
[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.x (more [details](https://docs.traefik.io/middlewares/forwardauth/))
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.
