# Proxy Authentication <sup>Beta</sup>
|
|
|
|
Koel can be configured to authenticate users via a reverse proxy.
|
|
Proxy authentication is useful in environments where users are already authenticated by a proxy server.
|
|
|
|
:::warning Beta Feature
|
|
This feature is currently in beta. Expect bugs and rough edges.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::danger Caution
|
|
Proxy authentication bypasses Koel's built-in authentication system and relies on the proxy server to authenticate users.
|
|
Make sure your proxy server is secure and properly configured.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
To enable proxy authentication, set `PROXY_AUTH_ENABLED` to in `.env` to `true` and provide the necessary configuration:
|
|
|
|
* `PROXY_AUTH_USER_HEADER`: The header name that contains the unique identifier for the user, e.g., `remote-user`.
|
|
* `PROXY_AUTH_PREFERRED_NAME_HEADER`: The header name that contains the user's preferred, humanly-readable name, e.g., `remote-preferred-name`.
|
|
* `PROXY_AUTH_ALLOW_LIST`: A comma-separated list of allowed proxy IPs or Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDRs), e.g., `10.10.1.0/24` or `2001:0db8:/32`. If this value is empty, NO requests will be allowed (which essentially means proxy authentication is disabled).
|
|
|
|
Now when a request comes in, Koel will look for specific headers to determine the user's identity.
|
|
If the headers are found, Koel will attempt to log the user in automatically using the unique identifier.
|
|
If the user is not found, Koel will create a new user with the unique identifier and the preferred name.
