[FEATURE][BREAKING] Allow users to sign in with email. (#792)
* [FEATURE][BREAKING] Allow users to sign in with email.

The users_filter purpose evolved with the introduction of username_attribute
but is reverted here to allow the most flexibility. users_filter is now the
actual filter used for searching the user and not a sub-filter based on the
username_attribute anymore.

* {input} placeholder has been introduced to later deprecate {0} which has been
kept for backward compatibility.
* {username_attribute} and {mail_attribute} are new placeholders used to back
reference other configuration options.

Fix #735

* [MISC] Introduce new placeholders for groups_filter too.

* [MISC] Update BREAKING.md to mention the change regarding users_filter.

* [MISC] Fix unit and integration tests.

* Log an error message in console when U2F is not supported.

* Apply suggestions from code review

* Update BREAKING.md

Authelia on Kubernetes

Authelia is now available on Kube in order to protect your most critical applications using 2-factor authentication and Single Sign-On.

This example leverages ingress-nginx to delegate authentication and authorization to Authelia within the cluster.

Getting started

You can either try to install Authelia on your running instance of Kubernetes or deploy the dedicated suite called kubernetes.

Set up a Kube cluster

The simplest way to start a Kubernetes cluster is to deploy the kubernetes suite with

authelia-scripts suites setup kubernetes

This will take a few seconds (or minutes) to deploy the cluster.

How does it work?

Authentication via Authelia

In a Kube clusters, the routing logic of requests is handled by ingress controllers following rules provided by ingress configurations.

In this example, ingress-nginx controller has been installed to handle the incoming requests. Some of them (specified in the ingress configuration) are forwarded to Authelia so that it can verify whether they are allowed and should reach the protected endpoint.

The authentication is provided at the ingress level by an annotation called nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url that is filled with the URL of Authelia's verification endpoint. The ingress controller also requires the URL to the authentication portal so that the user can be redirected if he is not yet authenticated. This annotation is as follows: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: "https://login.example.com:8080/"

Those annotations can be seen in apps/apps.yml configuration.

Production grade infrastructure

What is great with using ingress-nginx is that it is compatible with kube-lego which removes the usual pain of manually renewing SSL certificates. It uses letsencrypt to issue and renew certificates every three month without any manual intervention.

What do I need to know to deploy it in my cluster?

Given your cluster already runs a LDAP server, a Redis, a SQL database, a SMTP server and a nginx ingress-controller, you can deploy Authelia and update your ingress configurations. An example is provided here.
