# Using Traefik Forward Auth with Dex (Static)
[Traefik Forward Auth](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik-forward-auth/) is incredibly useful to secure services with an additional layer of authentication, provided by an OIDC-compatible provider. The simplest possible provider is a self-hosted instance of [CoreOS's Dex](https://github.com/dexidp/dex), configured with a static username and password. This recipe will "get you started" with Traefik Forward Auth, providing a basic authentication layer. In time, you might want to migrate to a "public" provider, like [Google][tfa-google], or GitHub, or to a [KeyCloak][keycloak] installation.

## Preparation
### Setup dex config
Create `/var/data/config/dex/config.yml` something like the following (*this is a bare-bones, [minimal example](https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/config.dev.yaml)*). At the very least, you want to replace all occurances of `example.com` with your own domain name. (*If you change nothing else, your ID is `foo`, your secret is `bar`, your username is `admin@yourdomain`, and your password is `password`*):
```yaml
# The base path of dex and the external name of the OpenID Connect service.
#
# This is the canonical URL that all clients MUST use to refer to dex. If a
# path is provided, dex's HTTP service will listen at a non-root URL.
issuer: https://dex.example.com
storage:
type: sqlite3
config:
file: var/sqlite/dex.db
web:
http: 0.0.0.0:5556
oauth2:
skipApprovalScreen: true
staticClients:
- id: foo
redirectURIs:
- 'https://auth.example.com/_oauth'
name: 'example.com'
secret: bar
staticPasswords:
- email: "admin@example.com"
# bcrypt hash of the string "password"
hash: "$2a$10$2b2cU8CPhOTaGrs1HRQuAueS7JTT5ZHsHSzYiFPm1leZck7Mc8T4W"
username: "admin"
userID: "08a8684b-db88-4b73-90a9-3cd1661f5466"
```
### Prepare Traefik Forward Auth environment
Create `/var/data/config/traefik-forward-auth/traefik-forward-auth.env` as follows:
```
DEFAULT_PROVIDER: oidc
PROVIDERS_OIDC_CLIENT_ID: foo # This is the staticClients.id value in config.yml above
PROVIDERS_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET: bar # This is the staticClients.secret value in config.yml above
PROVIDERS_OIDC_ISSUER_URL: https://dex.example.com # This is the issuer value in config.yml above, and it has to be reachable via a browser
SECRET: imtoosexyformyshorts # Make this up. It's not configured anywhere else
AUTH_HOST: auth.example.com # This should match the value of the traefik hosts labels in Traefik Forward Auth
COOKIE_DOMAIN: example.com # This should match your base domain
```
### Setup Docker Stack for Dex
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
--8<-- "premix-cta.md"
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
dex:
image: dexidp/dex
volumes:
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
- /var/data/config/dex/config.yml:/config.yml:ro
networks:
- traefik_public
command: ['serve','/config.yml']
deploy:
labels:
# traefik
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
# traefikv1
- traefik.frontend.rule=Host:dex.example.com
- traefik.port=5556
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
# and for traefikv2:
- "traefik.http.routers.dex.rule=Host(`dex.example.com`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.dex.entrypoints=https"
- "traefik.http.services.dex.loadbalancer.server.port=5556"
networks:
traefik_public:
external: true
```
### Setup Docker Stack for Traefik Forward Auth
Now create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:
```yaml
version: "3.2"
services:
traefik-forward-auth:
image: thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth:2.1.0

- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:auth.example.com"
- "traefik.frontend.auth.forward.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181"

- "traefik.http.routers.auth.middlewares=forward-auth"
# This simply validates that traefik forward authentication is working

- "traefik.http.routers.whoami.middlewares=forward-auth"
networks:
traefik_public:
external: true
```
## Serving
### Launch
Deploy dex with `docker stack deploy dex -c /var/data/dex/dex.yml`, to launch dex, and then deploy Traefik Forward Auth with `docker stack deploy traefik-forward-auth -c /var/data/traefik-forward-auth/traefik-forward-auth.yml`
Once you redeploy traefik-forward-auth with the above, it **should** use dex as an OIDC provider, authenticating you against the `staticPasswords` username and hashed password described in `config.yml` above.
### Test
Browse to https://whoami.example.com (_obviously, customized for your domain and having created a DNS record_), and all going according to plan, you'll be redirected to a CoreOS Dex login. Once successfully logged in, you'll be directed to the basic whoami page :thumbsup:
### Protect services
To protect any other service, ensure the service itself is exposed by Traefik (_if you were previously using an oauth_proxy for this, you may have to migrate some labels from the oauth_proxy serivce to the service itself_). Add the following label:
```yaml
- "traefik.http.routers.radarr.middlewares=forward-auth"
```
And re-deploy your services :)
## Summary
What have we achieved? By adding an additional label to any service, we can secure any service behind our (static) OIDC provider, with minimal processing / handling overhead.

# Traefik Forward Auth using Google
[Traefik Forward Auth](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik-forward-auth/) is incredibly useful to secure services with an additional layer of authentication, provided by an OIDC-compatible provider. The simplest possible provider is a self-hosted instance of [Dex][dex], configured with a static username and password. This is not much use if you want to provide "normies" access to your services though - a better solution would be to validate their credentials against an existing trusted public source.
This recipe will illustrate how to point Traefik Forward Auth to Google, confirming that the requestor has a valid Google account (*and that said account is permitted to access your services!*)
--8<-- "recipe-tfa-ingredients.md"
## Preparation
### Obtain OAuth credentials
#### TL;DR
Log into https://console.developers.google.com/, create a new project then search for and select "**Credentials**" in the search bar.
Fill out the "OAuth Consent Screen" tab, and then click, "**Create Credentials**" > "**OAuth client ID**". Select "**Web Application**", fill in the name of your app, skip "**Authorized JavaScript origins**" and fill "**Authorized redirect URIs**" with either all the domains you will allow authentication from, appended with the url-path (*e.g. https://radarr.example.com/_oauth, https://radarr.example.com/_oauth, etc*), or if you don't like frustration, use a "auth host" URL instead, like "*https://auth.example.com/_oauth*" (*see below for details*)
#### Monkey see, monkey do 🙈
Here's a [screencast I recorded](https://static.funkypenguin.co.nz/2021/screencast_2021-01-29_22-29-33.gif) of the OIDC credentias setup in Google Developer Console
!!! tip
Store your client ID and secret safely - you'll need them for the next step.
### Prepare environment
Create `/var/data/config/traefik-forward-auth/traefik-forward-auth.env` as follows:
```
PROVIDERS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<your client id>
PROVIDERS_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your client secret>
SECRET=<a random string, make it up>
# comment out AUTH_HOST if you'd rather use individual redirect_uris (slightly less complicated but more work)
AUTH_HOST=auth.example.com
COOKIE_DOMAINS=example.com
WHITELIST=you@yourdomain.com, me@mydomain.com
```
### Prepare the docker service config
Create `/var/data/config/traefik-forward-auth/traefik-forward-auth.yml` as follows:
```
traefik-forward-auth:
image: thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth:2.1.0
env_file: /var/data/config/traefik-forward-auth/traefik-forward-auth.env
networks:
- traefik_public
deploy:
labels # you only need these if you're using an auth host
# traefik
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.docker.network=traefik_public
# traefikv1
- "traefik.port=4181"
- "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:auth.example.com"
- "traefik.frontend.auth.forward.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181"
- "traefik.frontend.auth.forward.trustForwardHeader=true"
# traefikv2

- "traefik.http.routers.auth.tls.certresolver=main"
- "traefik.http.routers.auth.service=auth@docker"
- "traefik.http.services.auth.loadbalancer.server.port=4181"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.forward-auth.forwardauth.address=http://traefik-forward-auth:4181"

- "traefik.http.middlewares.forward-auth.forwardauth.authResponseHeaders=X-Forwarded-User"
- "traefik.http.routers.auth.middlewares=forward-auth"
```
If you're not confident that forward authentication is working, add a simple "whoami" test container to the above .yml, to help debug traefik forward auth, before attempting to add it to a more complex container.
```

While the [Traefik Forward Auth](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik-forward-auth/) recipe demonstrated a quick way to protect a set of explicitly-specified URLs using OIDC credentials from a Google account, this recipe will illustrate how to use your own KeyCloak instance to secure **any** URLs within your DNS domain.

## Preparation
### What is AuthHost mode
Under normal OIDC auth, you have to tell your auth provider which URLs it may redirect an authenticated user back to, post-authentication. This is a security feture of the OIDC spec, preventing a malicious landing page from capturing your session and using it to impersonate you. When you're securing many URLs though, explicitly listing them can be a PITA.
[@thomaseddon's traefik-forward-auth](https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth) includes an ingenious mechanism to simulate an "_auth host_" in your OIDC authentication, so that you can protect an unlimited amount of DNS names (_with a common domain suffix_), without having to manually maintain a list.
#### How does it work?
Say you're protecting **radarr.example.com**. When you first browse to **https://radarr.example.com**, Traefik forwards your session to traefik-forward-auth, to be authenticated. Traefik-forward-auth redirects you to your OIDC provider's login (_KeyCloak, in this case_), but instructs the OIDC provider to redirect a successfully authenticated session **back** to **https://auth.example.com/_oauth**, rather than to **https://radarr.example.com/_oauth**.
When you successfully authenticate against the OIDC provider, you are redirected to the "_redirect_uri_" of https://auth.example.com. Again, your request hits Traefik, whichforwards the session to traefik-forward-auth, which **knows** that you've just been authenticated (_cookies have a role to play here_). Traefik-forward-auth also knows the URL of your **original** request (_thanks to the X-Forwarded-Whatever header_). Traefik-forward-auth redirects you to your original destination, and everybody is happy.
This clever workaround only works under 2 conditions:
1. Your "auth host" has the same domain name as the hosts you're protecting (_i.e., auth.example.com protecting radarr.example.com_)
2. You explictly tell traefik-forward-auth to use a cookie authenticating your **whole** domain (_i.e. example.com_)
