BasicAuth Error

Traefik Traefik v2
1

Hey,

I'm curretly transforming from docker to file provider to get a more structured overview. In this process I stumbled upon the BasicAuth middleware, which is not working for me anymore. I'm using Traefik 2.2.0.

I created the user password token as the following:

echo $(htpasswd -nbB user "password") | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g # user:$$2y$$05$$/y/x10aXefWaplC44ccSwOCjOEqBivNs9GKRAleKWCIPnXmCzKHrS

If I load everything in I dont get any errors in the Traefik logs and I can also go to the dashboard but it keeps asking me for the password. Even if I type it in correctly.

Is there a mistake in my config? :confused:

Hello,

this command is for the docker provider (need to escape $ with $), but if you are using the file provider you don't need to escape the $

As you are using the Docker provider, I recommend to not use the file provider to create routing.

Thank you. Now it's working. :slightly_smiling_face:

Regarding the provider I wanted to test the file provider to provide better overview. I didn't wanted to bloat my docker-compose.yml file.
