Configure traefik to use authentication server and forward request to Elasticsearch

Traefik Traefik v2
1

Hi Folks,

We have a requirement to have Traefik use middleware called ForwardAuth to pass the queries to service Auth Service (part of docker swarm cluster) to get the token validated then traefik should forward the query to Elasticsearch. We already have reverse proxy rules on apache config, which will eventually be replaced by traefik..

authoritah

curl -XGET https://:<custom_port>/_search/_cat/indices/index* -H ":sample"

The Flow of request would be : Client --> Apache --> Traefik --> Auth Service <--> Traefik --> Elasticsearch

I have noticed request is not landing the Auth service and end up getting a 404 error.
