sleighzy/traefik-forward-auth repository overview

⁠Traefik Forward Authentication

Traefik does not provide native authentication for things such as JWT, OpenID Connect, etc. Traefik instead provides a ForwardAuth⁠ middleware that can be used to delegate authentication to external service. Upon a successful response Traefik will grant access to the requested resources.

⁠OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect⁠ is extremely popular authentication and authorization framework based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol.

⁠Traefik OpenID Connect Delegated Authentication Service

The GitHub repository https://github.com/thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth⁠ and associated Docker image thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth⁠ on Docker Hub is a Traefik Forward Authentication implementation that uses OpenID Connect to authenticate with OpenID Connect Providers.

This sleighzy/traefik-forward-auth image is an arm64 build of the original image to support systems such as Raspberry Pi and macOS M1 Apple Silicon chip.

See the thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth⁠ image and GitHub repository for full documentation and examples on how this can be used.
