Unable to set tls options

jhmnieuwenhuis · October 17, 2019, 6:25pm

I want to use tls options.
After reading the documentation i have the following setup.
In my docker-compose file->

- "traefik.http.routers.pgadmin4-websecure.tls.options=foobar"

In dynamic.yaml ->

http:
  routers:
    pgadmin4-websecure:
      rule: "Host(`pgadmin4.jhmnieuwenhuis.com`) && Path(`/`)"
      service:pgadmin4-websecure
      # will terminate the TLS request
      tls:
        options: foobar

tls:
  options:
    foobar:
      minVersion: VersionTLS12
      cipherSuites:
        - TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
        - TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305
        - TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305
        - TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
        - TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

When looking at the traefik dashboard is see an error ->

Unknown TLS options : foobar@docker.

I do not know what i am doing wrong ???

I used TOML in my swarm but I think you're missing a @file

jhmnieuwenhuis · October 17, 2019, 7:54pm

thanks, I added the @file but the error stays.

trajano · October 17, 2019, 11:48pm

Maybe you didn't specify your file provider in traefik.

dduportal · October 18, 2019, 6:15am

Following traajano's question: can you provide a bit more information to see what could go wrong? Thanks a lot!

jhmnieuwenhuis · October 18, 2019, 7:12am

B.t.w this configuration works.
I can enter pgadmin4.jhmnieuwenhuis.com in the browser and it connects as
https://pgadmin4.jhmnieuwenhuis.com.
There is an error in the logs ->

Cannot start the provider *file.Provider: yaml: line 6: could not find expected ':'"

The problem is that i get a poor rating in ssllabs and that is the reason i want to use tls options.

The tls options from the dynamic.yaml file are not applied and the rating keeps beeing poor.

It works now !!

I replaced the dynamic.yaml file wite a toml file and simplified it.

## Dynamic configuration
[tls.options]
  [tls.options.foobar]
    minVersion = "VersionTLS12"
    cipherSuites = [
      "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384",
      "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305",
      "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305",
      "TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256",
      "TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256",
    ]

No more error in the traefik dashboard.

I guess there was an error in the dynamic.yaml file ..

Now the ssllabs test shows

Is there any tls setting or other setting that gets me to A+ instead of A ?

Thanks for all the support.
It's nice to know people care !!!

trajano · October 20, 2019, 3:43am

There's some extra headings you can set. Check my configuration, it gets A+

jhmnieuwenhuis · October 20, 2019, 7:57pm

Thanks, I tried the the settings in your traefik.toml.
Still no A+, only A.

I notice in ssllabs check that TlsVersion 1.0 still enabled.
Can i disable that in traefik ?

Regards,
hans

trajano · October 21, 2019, 10:42pm

I think you may not be setting the file correctly because your configuration already says minimum is TLSv1.2 so if you're getting it working with TLSv1.0 then that would imply that that your TLS options is not being set correctly.
