| Reverse-proxy |
:::info Since authentik uses WebSockets to communicate with Outposts, it does not support HTTP/1.0 reverse-proxies. The HTTP/1.0 specification does not officially support WebSockets or protocol upgrades, though some clients may allow it. :::
If you want to access authentik behind a reverse-proxy, there are a few headers that must be passed upstream:
X-Forwarded-Proto: Tells authentik and Proxy Providers if they are being served over a HTTPS connection.X-Forwarded-For: Without this, authentik will not know the IP addresses of clients.Host: Required for various security checks, WebSocket handshake, and Outpost and Proxy Provider communication.Connection: UpgradeandUpgrade: WebSocket: Required to upgrade protocols for requests to the WebSocket endpoints under HTTP/1.1.
The following nginx configuration can be used as a starting point for your own configuration.
# Upstream where your authentik server is hosted.
upstream authentik {
server <hostname of your authentik server>:9443;
# Improve performance by keeping some connections alive.
keepalive 10;
}
# Upgrade WebSocket if requested, otherwise use keepalive
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade_keepalive {
default upgrade;
'' '';
}
server {
# HTTP server config
listen 80;
server_name sso.domain.tld;
# 301 redirect to HTTPS
location / {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
}
server {
# HTTPS server config
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name sso.domain.tld;
# TLS certificates
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld/privkey.pem;
# Proxy site
location / {
proxy_pass https://authentik;
