Show information

Platform:

This feature is available in traefik-k8s starting from revision 206.

In order to enable BasicAuth in traefik-k8s you will need to:

Generate a user string

First you will need to generate a user string with the right format:

<username>:<hashed-password>

where the password must be hashed with either MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt.

We recommend using htpasswd to generate the user string:

(on ubuntu) $ sudo apt-get install apache2-utils

$ htpasswd -nbB YOUR_USERNAME YOUR_PASSWORD

For example, running with `admin/admin:

$ htpasswd -nbB admin admin admin:$2y$05$ChsVYFWoLO7YbNnRZSS2IeLcKzL1jgfdOdCfyhtz4tcPOvmTkQYPy

TIP: Use a strong password.

Pass the user string to traefik-k8s

$ juju config traefik-k8s basic_auth_user='<YOUR_USER_STRING>'

Remember to escape the user string! The hash can contain some odd characters that may confuse your shell.

Wait for traefik to process the action and ta-da! you should now have enabled BasicAuth. Any url you try to access through this traefik instance will request the username/password combination you chose.

We don’t yet support multiple users or per-route auth. Need that? Let us know! For the time being, you can consider deploying multiple traefiks to segment your namespace with separate user domains.
