# Authelia [![license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/mashape/apistatus.svg?maxAge=2592000)][MIT License] [![Build](https://travis-ci.org/clems4ever/authelia.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/clems4ever/authelia) **Authelia** is a complete HTTP 2-factor authentication server for proxies like nginx. It has been made to work with nginx [auth_request] module and is currently used in production to secure internal services in a small docker swarm cluster. ## Features * Two-factor authentication using either **[TOTP] - Time-Base One Time password -** or **[U2F] - Universal 2-Factor -** as 2nd factor. * Password reset with identity verification by sending links to user email address. * Access restriction after too many authentication attempts. ## Deployment If you don't have any LDAP and/or nginx setup yet, I advise you to follow the [Getting Started](#Getting-started) section. That way, you can test it right away without even configure anything. Otherwise here are the available steps to deploy **Authelia** on your machine given your configuration file is **/path/to/your/config.yml**. ### With NPM npm install -g authelia authelia /path/to/your/config.yml ### With Docker docker pull clems4ever/authelia docker run -v /path/to/your/config.yml:/etc/authelia/config.yml -v /path/to/data/dir:/var/lib/authelia clems4ever/authelia where **/path/to/data/dir** is the directory where all user data will be stored. ## Getting started The provided example is docker-based so that you can deploy and test it very quickly. ### Pre-requisites #### npm Make sure you have npm and node installed on your computer. #### Docker Make sure you have **docker** and **docker-compose** installed on your machine. For your information, here are the versions that have been used for testing: docker --version gave *Docker version 17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e*. docker-compose --version gave *docker-compose version 1.14.0, build c7bdf9e*. #### Available port Make sure you don't have anything listening on port 8080. #### Subdomain aliases Add the following lines to your **/etc/hosts** to alias multiple subdomains so that nginx can redirect request to the correct virtual host. 127.0.0.1 secret.test.local 127.0.0.1 secret1.test.local 127.0.0.1 secret2.test.local 127.0.0.1 home.test.local 127.0.0.1 mx1.mail.test.local 127.0.0.1 mx2.mail.test.local 127.0.0.1 auth.test.local ### Deployment Deploy **Authelia** example with the following command: npm install --only=dev ./node_modules/.bin/grunt build-dist ./scripts/deploy-example.sh After few seconds the services should be running and you should be able to visit [https://home.test.local:8080/](https://home.test.local:8080/). When accessing the login page, a self-signed certificate exception should appear, it has to be trusted before you can get to the target page. The certificate must be trusted for each subdomain, therefore it is normal to see the exception several times. Below is what the login page looks like: ### First factor: LDAP and ACL An LDAP server has been deployed for you with the following credentials and access control list: - **john / password** is in the admin group and has access to the secret from any subdomain. - **bob / password** is in the dev group and has access to the secret from - [secret.test.local](https://secret.test.local:8080/secret.html) - [secret2.test.local](https://secret2.test.local:8080/secret.html) - [home.test.local](https://home.test.local:8080/secret.html) - [\*.mail.test.local](https://mx1.mail.test.local:8080/secret.html) - **harry / password** is not in a group but has rules giving him has access to the secret from - [secret1.test.local](https://secret1.test.local:8080/secret.html) - [home.test.local](https://home.test.local:8080/secret.html) You can use them in the login page. If everything is ok, the second factor page should appear as shown below. Otherwise you'll get an error message notifying your credentials are wrong. ### Second factor: TOTP (Time-Base One Time Password) In **Authelia**, you need to register a per user TOTP secret before authenticating. To do that, you need to click on the register button. It will send a link to the user email address. Since this is an example, no email will be sent, the link is rather delivered in the file **./notifications/notification.txt**. Paste the link in your browser and you'll get your secret in QRCode and Base32 formats. You can use [Google Authenticator] to store them and get the generated tokens with the app. ### 2nd factor: U2F (Universal 2-Factor) with security keys **Authelia** also offers authentication using U2F devices like [Yubikey](Yubikey) USB security keys. U2F is one of the most secure authentication protocol and is already available for Google, Facebook, Github accounts and more. Like TOTP, U2F requires you register your security key before authenticating. To do so, click on the register button. This will send a link to the user email address. Since this is an example, no email will be sent, the link is rather delivered in the file **./notifications/notification.txt**. Paste the link in your browser and you'll be asking to touch the token of your device to register. Upon successful registration, you can authenticate using your U2F device by simply touching the token. Easy, right?! ### Password reset With **Authelia**, you can also reset your password in no time. Click on the **Forgot password?** link in the login page, provide the username of the user requiring a password reset and **Authelia** will send an email with an link to the user email address. For the sake of the example, the email is delivered in the file **./notifications/notification.txt**. Paste the link in your browser and you should be able to reset the password. ### Access Control With **Authelia**, you can define your own access control rules for restricting the user access to some subdomains. Those rules are defined in the configuration file and can be set either for everyone, per-user or per-group policies. Check out the *config.template.yml* to see how they are defined. ## Documentation ### Configuration The configuration of the server is defined in the file **configuration.template.yml**. All the details are documented there. You can specify another configuration file by giving it as first argument of **Authelia**. authelia config.custom.yml ### API documentation There is a complete API documentation generated with [apiDoc](http://apidocjs.com/) and embedded in the repo under the **doc/** directory.
