|
|
networks:

|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### default_policy
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: string
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: deny
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The default [policy](#policies) defines the policy applied if no [rules](#rules) section apply to the information known
|
|
about the request. It is recommended that this is configured to [deny](#deny) for security reasons. Sites which you do
|
|
not wish to secure at all with Authelia should not be configured in your reverse proxy to perform authentication with
|
|
Authelia at all for performance reasons.
|
|
|
|
See [Policies](#policies) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### networks (global)
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The main/global networks section contains a list of networks with a name label that can be reused in the
|
|
[rules](#networks) section instead of redefining the same networks over and over again. This additionally makes
|
|
complicated network related configuration a lot cleaner and easier to read.
|
|
|
|
This section has two options, `name` and `networks`. Where the `networks` section is a list of IP addresses in CIDR
|
|
notation and where `name` is a friendly name to label the collection of networks for reuse in the [networks](#networks)
|
|
section of the [rules](#rules) section below.
|
|
|
|
This configuration option *does nothing* by itself, it's only useful if you use these aliases in the [rules](#networks)
|
|
section below.
|
|
|
|
### rules
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The rules have many configuration options. A rule matches when all criteria of the rule match the request excluding the
|
|
`policy` which is the [policy](#policies) applied to the request.
|
|
|
|
A rule defines two primary things:
|
|
|
|
* the policy applied when all criteria match.
|
|
|
|
* the matching criteria of the request presented to the reverse proxy
|
|
|
|
The criteria is broken into several parts:
|
|
|
|
* [domain](#domain): domain or list of domains targeted by the request.
|
|
* [domain_regex](#domain_regex): regex form of [domain](#domain).
|
|
* [resources](#resources): pattern or list of patterns that the path should match.
|
|
* [subject](#subject): the user or group of users to define the policy for.
|
|
* [networks](#networks): the network addresses, ranges (CIDR notation) or groups from where the request originates.
|
|
* [methods](#methods): the http methods used in the request.
|
|
|
|
A rule is matched when all criteria of the rule match. Rules are evaluated in sequential order, and the first rule that
|
|
is a match for a given request is the rule applied; subsequent rules have *no effect*. This is particularly
|
|
**important** for bypass rules. Bypass rules should generally appear near the top of the rules list. However you need to
|
|
carefully evaluate your rule list **in order** to see which rule matches a particular scenario. A comprehensive
|
|
understanding of how rules apply is also recommended.
|
|
|
|
#### domain
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(string)
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: yes
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-red }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
_**Required:** This criteria OR the [domain_regex](#domain_regex) criteria are required._
|
|
|
|
This criteria matches the domain name and has two methods of configuration, either as a single string or as a list of
|
|
strings. When it's a list of strings the rule matches when **any** of the domains in the list match the request domain.
|
|
When used in conjunction with [domain_regex](#domain_regex) the rule will match when either the [domain](#domain) or the
|
|
[domain_regex](#domain_regex) criteria matches.
|
|
|
|
Rules may start with a few different wildcards:
|
|
|
|
* The standard wildcard is `*.`, which when in front of a domain means that any subdomain is effectively a match. For
|
|
example `*.example.com` would match `abc.example.com` and `secure.example.com`. When using a wildcard like this the
|
|
string **must** be quoted like `"*.example.com"`.
|
|
|
|
* The user wildcard is `{user}.`, which when in front of a domain dynamically matches the username of the user. For
|
|
example `{user}.example.com` would match `fred.example.com` if the user logged in was named `fred`. _**Warning:** this is
|
|
officially deprecated as the [domain_regex](#domain_regex) criteria completely replaces the functionality in a much
|
|
more useful way. It is strongly recommended you do not use this as it will be removed in a future version, most likely
|
|
v5.0.0._
|
|
|
|
* The group wildcard is `{group}.`, which when in front of a domain dynamically matches if the logged in user has the
|
|
group in that location. For example `{group}.example.com` would match `admins.example.com` if the user logged in was
|
|
in the following groups `admins,users,people` because `admins` is in the list. _**Warning:** this is
|
|
officially deprecated as the [domain_regex](#domain_regex) criteria completely replaces the functionality in a much
|
|
more useful way. It is strongly recommended you do not use this as it will be removed in a future version, most likely
|
|
v5.0.0._
|
|
|
|
Domains in this section must be the domain configured in the [session](./session/index.md#domain) configuration or
|
|
subdomains of that domain. This is because a website can only write cookies for a domain it is part of. It is
|
|
theoretically possible for us to do this with multiple domains however we would have to be security conscious in our
|
|
implementation, and it is not currently a priority.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
*Single domain of `*.example.com` matched. All rules in this list are effectively the same rule just expressed in
|
|
different ways.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: '*.example.com'
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
- domain:
|
|
- '*.example.com'
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Multiple domains matched. These rules would match either `apple.example.com` or `orange.example.com`. All rules in this
|
|
list are effectively the same rule just expressed in different ways.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: ['apple.example.com', 'banana.example.com']
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
- domain:
|
|
- apple.example.com
|
|
- banana.example.com
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### domain_regex
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(string)
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: yes
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-red }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
_**Required:** This criteria OR the [domain](#domain) criteria are required._
|
|
|
|
_**Important Note:** If you intend to use this criteria with a bypass rule please read
|
|
[bypass and subjects](#bypass-and-user-identity) before doing so._
|
|
|
|
_**Important Note:** to utilize regex you must escape it properly. See [regex](./index.md#regex) for more information._
|
|
|
|
This criteria matches the domain name and has two methods of configuration, either as a single string or as a list of
|
|
strings. When it's a list of strings the rule matches when **any** of the domains in the list match the request domain.
|
|
When used in conjunction with [domain](#domain) the rule will match when either the [domain](#domain) or the
|
|
[domain_regex](#domain_regex) criteria matches.
|
|
|
|
This criteria takes any standard go regex pattern to match the requests. We additionally utilize two special named match
|
|
groups which match attributes of the user:
|
|
|
|
| Group Name | Match Value |
|
|
|:----------:|:-----------------:|
|
|
| User | username |
|
|
| Group | groups (contains) |
|
|
|
|
For the group match it matches if the user has any group name that matches, and both matches are case-insensitive due to
|
|
the fact domain names should not be compared in a case-sensitive way as per the
|
|
[RFC4343](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4343) abstract and
|
|
[RFC3986](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.2.2) section 3.2.2.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain:
|
|
- apple.example.com
|
|
- banana.example.com
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
- domain_regex:
|
|
- '^user-(?P<User>\w+)\.example\.com$'
|
|
- '^group-(?P<Group>\w+)\.example\.com$'
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### policy
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: string
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: yes
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-red }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
The specific [policy](#policies) to apply to the selected rule. This is not criteria for a match, this is the action to
|
|
take when a match is made.
|
|
|
|
### subject
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(list(string))
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
***Note:** this rule criteria **may not** be used for the `bypass` policy the minimum required authentication level to
|
|
identify the subject is `one_factor`. We have taken an opinionated stance on preventing this configuration as it could
|
|
result in problematic security scenarios with badly thought out configurations and cannot see a likely configuration
|
|
scenario that would require users to do this. If you have a scenario in mind please open an
|
|
[issue](https://github.com/authelia/authelia/issues/new) on GitHub.*
|
|
|
|
This criteria matches identifying characteristics about the subject. This is either user's name or the name of the
|
|
group a user belongs to. This allows you to effectively control exactly what each user is authorized to access or to
|
|
specifically require two-factor authentication to specific users. Subjects are prefixed with either `user:` or `group:`
|
|
to identify which part of the identity to check.
|
|
|
|
The format of this rule is unique in as much as it is a list of lists. The logic behind this format is to allow for both
|
|
`OR` and `AND` logic. The first level of the list defines the `OR` logic, and the second level defines the `AND` logic.
|
|
Additionally each level of these lists does not have to be explicitly defined.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
*Matches when the user has the username `john`, **or** the user is in the groups `admin` **and** `app-name`, **or** the
|
|
user is in the group `super-admin`. All rules in this list are effectively the same rule just expressed in different
|
|
ways.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: two_factor
|
|
subject:
|
|
- "user:john"
|
|
- ["group:admin", "group:app-name"]
|
|
- "group:super-admin"
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: two_factor
|
|
subject:
|
|
- ["user:john"]
|
|
- ["group:admin", "group:app-name"]
|
|
- ["group:super-admin"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Matches when the user is in the `super-admin` group. All rules in this list are effectively the same rule just
|
|
expressed in different ways.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
subject: "group:super-admin"
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
subject:
|
|
- "group:super-admin"
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
subject:
|
|
- ["group:super-admin"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### methods
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(string)
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
This criteria matches the HTTP request method. This is primarily useful when trying to bypass authentication for specific
|
|
request types when those requests would prevent essential or public operation of the website. An example is when you
|
|
need to do CORS preflight requests you could apply the `bypass` policy to `OPTIONS` requests.
|
|
|
|
It's important to note that Authelia cannot preserve request data when redirecting the user. For example if the user had
|
|
permission to do GET requests, their authentication level was `one_factor`, and POST requests required them to do
|
|
`two_factor` authentication, they would lose the form data. Additionally it is sometimes not possible to redirect users
|
|
who have done requests other than HEAD or GET which means the user experience may suffer. These are the reasons it's
|
|
only recommended to use this to increase security where essential and for CORS preflight.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: example.com
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
methods:
|
|
- OPTIONS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The accepted and valid methods for this configuration option are those specified in well known RFC's. The RFC's and the
|
|
relevant methods are listed in this table:

### networks
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(string)
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
This criteria is a list of values which can be an IP Address, network address range in CIDR notation, or an alias from
|
|
the [global](#networks-global) section. It matches against the first address in the `X-Forwarded-For` header, or if there
|
|
are none it will fall back to the IP address of the packet TCP source IP address. For this reason it's important for you
|
|
to configure the proxy server correctly in order to accurately match requests with this criteria. ***Note:** you may
|
|
combine CIDR networks with the alias rules as you please.*
|
|
|
|
The main use case for this criteria is adjust the security requirements of a resource based on the location of a user.
|
|
You can theoretically consider a specific network to be one of the factors involved in authentiation, you can deny
|
|
specific networks, etc.
|
|
|
|
For example if you have an application exposed on both the local networks and the external networks, you are able to
|
|
distinguish between those requests and apply differing policies to each. Either denying access when the user is on the
|
|
external networks and allowing specific external clients to access it as well as internal clients, or by requiring less
|
|
privileges when a user is on the local networks.
|
|
|
|
There are a large number of scenarios regarding networks and the order of the rules. This provides a lot of flexibility
|
|
for administrators to tune the security to their specific needs if desired.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
*Require [two_factor](#two_factor) for all clients other than internal clients and `112.134.145.167`. The first two
|
|
rules in this list are effectively the same rule just expressed in different ways.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
default_policy: two_factor
|
|
networks:
|
|
- name: internal
|
|
networks:
|
|
- 10.0.0.0/8
|
|
- 172.16.0.0/12
|
|
- 192.168.0.0/18
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: secure.example.com
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
networks:
|
|
- 10.0.0.0/8
|
|
- 172.16.0.0/12
|
|
- 192.168.0.0/18
|
|
- 112.134.145.167/32
|
|
- domain: secure.example.com
|
|
policy: one_factor
|
|
networks:
|
|
- internal
|
|
- 112.134.145.167/32
|
|
- domain: secure.example.com
|
|
policy: two_factor
|
|
```

### resources
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: list(string)
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
_**Important Note:** to utilize regex you must escape it properly. See [regex](./index.md#regex) for more information._
|
|
|
|
This criteria matches the path and query of the request using regular expressions. The rule is expressed as a list of
|
|
strings. If any one of the regular expressions in the list matches the request it's considered a match. A useful tool
|
|
for debugging these regular expressions is called [Rego](https://regoio.herokuapp.com/).
|
|
|
|
_**Note:** Prior to 4.27.0 the regular expressions only matched the path excluding the query parameters. After 4.27.0
|
|
they match the entire path including the query parameters. When upgrading you may be required to alter some of your
|
|
resource rules to get them to operate as they previously did._
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
*Applies the [bypass](#bypass) policy when the domain is `app.example.com` and the url is `/api`, or starts with either
|
|
`/api/` or `/api?`.*
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
access_control:
|
|
rules:
|
|
- domain: app.example.com
|
|
policy: bypass
|
|
resources:
|
|
- '^/api([/?].*)?$'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Policies
|
|
|
|
The policy of the first matching rule in the configured list decides the policy applied to the request, if no rule
|
|
matches the request the [default_policy](#default_policy) is applied.
|
|
|
|
### deny
|
|
|
|
This is the policy applied by default, and is what we recommend as the default policy for all installs. Its effect
|
|
is literally to deny the user access to the resource. Additionally you can use this policy to conditionally deny
|
|
access in desired situations. Examples include denying access to an API that has no authentication mechanism built in.
|
|
|
|
### bypass
|
|
|
|
This policy skips all authentication and allows anyone to use the resource. This policy is not available with a rule
|
|
that includes a [subject](#subject) restriction because the minimum authentication level required to obtain information
|
|
about the subject is [one_factor](#one_factor).
|
|
|
|
#### bypass and user identity
|
|
|
|
The [bypass](#bypass) policy cannot be used when the rule uses a criteria that requires we know the users identity. This
|
|
means:
|
|
|
|
- If the rule defines [subjects](#subject) criteria
|
|
- If the rule defines [domain regex](#domain_regex) criteria which contains either the user or group named match groups
|
|
|
|
This is because these criteria types require knowing who the user is in order to determine if their identity matches the
|
|
request. This information can only be known after 1FA, which means the minimum policy that can be used logically is
|
|
[one_factor](#one_factor).
|
|
|
|
### one_factor
|
|
|
|
This policy requires the user at minimum complete 1FA successfully (username and password). This means if they have
|
|
performed 2FA then they will be allowed to access the resource.
|
|
|
|
### two_factor
|
|
|
|
This policy requires the user to complete 2FA successfully. This is currently the highest level of authentication
|
|
policy available.
|
|
|
