Add Basic Authentication to a Service or a Route with username and password protection. The plugin will check for valid credentials in the Proxy-Authorization and Authorization header (in this order).Note: The functionality of this plugin as bundled with versions of Kong prior to 0.14.0 and Kong Enterprise prior to 0.34 differs from what is documented herein. Refer to the CHANGELOG for details.

PermalinkConfiguration Reference

You can configure this plugin using the Kong Admin API or through declarative configuration, which involves directly editing the Kong configuration file.

This plugin is compatible with requests with the following protocols:

  • http

  • https

  • grpc

  • grpcs

This plugin is partially compatible with DB-less mode.

In DB-less mode, Kong does not have an Admin API. If using this mode, configure the plugin using declarative configuration.

Consumers and Credentials can be created with declarative configuration.

Admin API endpoints which do POST, PUT, PATCH or DELETE on Credentials are not available on DB-less mode.

PermalinkEnabling the plugin on a Service

Kong Admin APIKubernetesDeclarative (YAML)

For example, configure this plugin on a Service by making the following request:

$ curl -X POST http://<admin-hostname>:8001/services/<service>/plugins \
    --data "name=basic-auth"  \
    --data "config.hide_credentials=true"

<service> is the id or name of the Service that this plugin configuration will target.

PermalinkEnabling the plugin on a Route

Kong Admin APIKubernetesDeclarative (YAML)

For example, configure this plugin on a Route with:

$ curl -X POST http://<admin-hostname>:8001/routes/<route>/plugins \
    --data "name=basic-auth"  \
    --data "config.hide_credentials=true"

<route> is the id or name of the Route that this plugin configuration will target.

PermalinkEnabling the plugin globally

A plugin which is not associated to any Service, Route, or Consumer is considered global, and will be run on every request. Read the Plugin Reference and the Plugin Precedence sections for more information.Kong Admin APIKubernetesDeclarative (YAML)

For example, configure this plugin globally with:

$ curl -X POST http://<admin-hostname>:8001/plugins/ \
    --data "name=basic-auth"  \
    --data "config.hide_credentials=true"

PermalinkParameters

Here's a list of all the parameters which can be used in this plugin's configuration:

Form Parameter

Description

name Type: string

The name of the plugin to use, in this case basic-auth.

service.id Type: string

The ID of the Service the plugin targets.

route.id Type: string

The ID of the Route the plugin targets.

enabled Type: boolean Default value: true

Whether this plugin will be applied.

config.hide_credentials optional Type: boolean Default value: false

An optional boolean value telling the plugin to show or hide the credential from the upstream service. If true, the plugin will strip the credential from the request (i.e. the Authorization header) before proxying it.

config.anonymous optional Type: string

An optional string (consumer uuid) value to use as an “anonymous” consumer if authentication fails. If empty (default), the request will fail with an authentication failure 4xx. Please note that this value must refer to the Consumer id attribute which is internal to Kong, and not its custom_id.

Once applied, any user with a valid credential can access the Service. To restrict usage to only some of the authenticated users, also add the ACL plugin (not covered here) and create allowed or denied groups of users.

In order to use the plugin, you first need to create a Consumer to associate one or more credentials to. The Consumer represents a developer or an application consuming the upstream service.

PermalinkCreate a Consumer

You need to associate a credential to an existing Consumer object. A Consumer can have many credentials.

With a Database

To create a Consumer, you can execute the following request:

curl -d "username=user123&custom_id=SOME_CUSTOM_ID" http://kong:8001/consumers/

Without a Database

Your declarative configuration file will need to have one or more Consumers. You can create them on the consumers: yaml section:

consumers:
- username: user123
  custom_id: SOME_CUSTOM_ID

In both cases, the parameters are as described below:

parameter

description

username semi-optional

The username of the consumer. Either this field or custom_id must be specified.

custom_id semi-optional

A custom identifier used to map the consumer to another database. Either this field or username must be specified.

If you are also using the ACL plugin and allow lists with this service, you must add the new consumer to the allowed group. See ACL: Associating Consumers for details.

PermalinkCreate a Credential

With a Database

You can provision new username/password credentials by making the following HTTP request:

$ curl -X POST http://kong:8001/consumers/{consumer}/basic-auth \
    --data "username=Aladdin" \
    --data "password=OpenSesame"

Without a Database

You can add credentials on your declarative config file on the basicauth_credentials yaml entry:

basicauth_credentials:
- consumer: {consumer}
  username: Aladdin
  password: OpenSesame

In both cases, the fields / parameters work as described below:

field/parameter

description

{consumer}

The id or username property of the Consumer entity to associate the credentials to.

username

The username to use in the Basic Authentication

password optional

The password to use in the Basic Authentication

PermalinkUsing the Credential

The authorization header must be base64 encoded. For example, if the credential uses Aladdin as the username and OpenSesame as the password, then the field’s value is the base64-encoding of Aladdin:OpenSesame, or QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l.

Then the Authorization (or Proxy-Authorization) header must appear as:

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l

Simply make a request with the header:

$ curl http://kong:8000/{path matching a configured Route} \
    -H 'Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l'

gRPC clients are supported too:

$ grpcurl -H 'Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l' ...

PermalinkUpstream Headers

When a client has been authenticated, the plugin will append some headers to the request before proxying it to the upstream service, so that you can identify the Consumer in your code:

  • X-Consumer-ID, the ID of the Consumer on Kong

  • X-Consumer-Custom-ID, the custom_id of the Consumer (if set)

  • X-Consumer-Username, the username of the Consumer (if set)

  • X-Credential-Identifier, the identifier of the Credential (only if the consumer is not the ‘anonymous’ consumer)

  • X-Anonymous-Consumer, will be set to true when authentication failed, and the ‘anonymous’ consumer was set instead.

You can use this information on your side to implement additional logic. You can use the X-Consumer-ID value to query the Kong Admin API and retrieve more information about the Consumer.Note:`X-Credential-Username` was deprecated in favor of `X-Credential-Identifier` in Kong 2.1.

PermalinkPaginate through the basic-auth Credentials

Note: This endpoint was introduced in Kong 0.11.2.

You can paginate through the basic-auth Credentials for all Consumers using the following request:

$ curl -X GET http://kong:8001/basic-auths

{
    "total": 3,
    "data": [
        {
            "created_at": 1511379926000,
            "id": "805520f6-842b-419f-8a12-d1de8a30b29f",
            "password": "37b1af03d3860acf40bd9c681aa3ef3f543e49fe",
            "username": "baz",
            "consumer": { "id": "5e52251c-54b9-4c10-9605-b9b499aedb47" }
        },
        {
            "created_at": 1511379863000,
            "id": "8edfe5c7-3151-4d92-971f-3faa5e6c5d7e",
            "password": "451b06c564a06ce60874d0ea2f542fa8ed26317e",
            "username": "foo",
            "consumer": { "id": "89a41fef-3b40-4bb0-b5af-33da57a7ffcf" }
        },
        {
            "created_at": 1511379877000,
            "id": "f11cb0ea-eacf-4a6b-baea-a0e0b519a990",
            "password": "451b06c564a06ce60874d0ea2f542fa8ed26317e",
            "username": "foobar",
            "consumer": { "id": "89a41fef-3b40-4bb0-b5af-33da57a7ffcf" }
        }
    ]
}

You can filter the list by consumer by using this other path:

$ curl -X GET http://kong:8001/consumers/{username or id}/basic-auth

{
    "total": 1,
    "data": [
        {
            "created_at": 1511379863000,
            "id": "8edfe5c7-3151-4d92-971f-3faa5e6c5d7e",
            "password": "451b06c564a06ce60874d0ea2f542fa8ed26317e",
            "username": "foo",
            "consumer": { "id": "89a41fef-3b40-4bb0-b5af-33da57a7ffcf" }
        }
    ]
}

username or id: The username or id of the consumer whose credentials need to be listed

PermalinkRetrieve the Consumer associated with a Credential

Note: This endpoint was introduced in Kong 0.11.2.

It is possible to retrieve a Consumer associated with a basic-auth Credential using the following request:

curl -X GET http://kong:8001/basic-auths/{username or id}/consumer

{
   "created_at":1507936639000,
   "username":"foo",
   "id":"c0d92ba9-8306-482a-b60d-0cfdd2f0e880"
}

username or id: The id or username property of the basic-auth Credential for which to get the associated Consumer. Note that the username accepted here is not the username property of a Consumer.
