Traefik middleware forward auth issue: address url

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)
1

Hi ,

Usecase: LDAP intergration for Prometheus
Reverse proxy : Traefik version 2
SSO: Authelia 4.33.2
LDAP : our prod

I'm using helm chart to configure traefik ,authelia and LDAP.
Authelia+LDAP works successfully,
I have a issue in auth forward traefik ( middleware)

  • I have a secure url ( Prometheus) when i hit it, based on the configuration it should redirect me to SSO ( which is authelia).

  • It has been identified the forward auth address syntax is not working properly.
    kind: Middleware
    metadata:
    name: auth
    namespace: default
    spec:
    forwardAuth:
    address: http://authelia.default.svc.cluster.local/auth/api/verify?rd=https://secureurl/auth/
    trustForwardHeader: true
    authRequestHeaders:
    - "Remote-User"
    - "Remote-Groups"
    - "Remote-Name"
    - "Remote-Email"
    tls:
    insecureSkipVerify: true

secure container: prometheus( renamed as whoami), ingress.
I'm using two middleware yaml , one for regex and one for actual config

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.middlewares: default-auth@kubernetescrd, default regex@kubernetescrd
name: whoami
namespace: default
spec:
rules:

  • host: whoami.url
    http:
    paths:
    • backend:
      service:
      name: whoami
      port:
      number: 80
      path: /
      pathType: Prefix
      tls:
  • secretName: tls ( our secret)

I just want to check if anyone came across this kind of setup.
i doubt there is a syntax issue with address on middleware under auth_forward.
any suggestion on this query, could you please provide your feedback. thanks in advance
