title: How-To
---
This is a quick how-to or setup guide to use Authentik with TrueNAS SCALE and setup a simple Proxy Provider with `traefik` using the Embedded Outpost to use as a Traefik `forwardauth`. This guide was created with Authentik `2022.10.0` and will be updated if things dramatically change.
This can be applied to other systems but this specific guide has been tested and created on TrueNAS SCALE and isn't guaranteed to work with any other configs.
## Requirements
- Authentik TrueCharts Chart
- Traefik Truecharts Chart
This is a quick how-to or setup guide to use Authentik and setup a simple Proxy Provider with `traefik` using the Embedded Outpost to use as a Traefik `forwardauth`. <br>
This guide is created with Authentik `2025.2.1`.
## Prerequisites
This guide assumes you're using Traefik as your Reverse Proxy / Ingress provider and have through the configuration listen in our [Quick-Start guides]. Please ensure that you can access your domain properly with Ingress before attempting any further steps.

## Authentik Chart Setup
:::note
The `Authentik` chart has many options, which may enhance or break your chart depending on your setup and are beyond the scope of this guide

:::
### Container Configuration
### Chart Values
All of the defaults are fine to start off, you must choose a password, however `ingress` must be set if you wish to use `authentik` with `traefik`.
**Ingress Example**
All of the defaults are fine to start off, only the `.Values` you need to set are password and the ingress settings.
:::note
Note that the `*.domain.com` host config is only needed if you want to use `Forward auth (single application)` in `authentik`.
Note that the `*.domain.com` host config is only needed if you want to use `Forward auth (single application)` in `Authentik`.
:::
![Ingress-Auth](./img/Ingress-Auth.png)
```yaml
// .Values
ingress:
main:
enabled: true
hosts:
- host: auth.domain.com
- host: "*.domain.com"
paths:
- path: /outpost.goauthentik.io
pathType: Prefix
integrations:
traefik:
enabled: true
certManager:
enabled: true
certificateIssuer: domain-0-le-prod
authentik:
credentials:
email: info@domain.com
password: secretpassword
```
## Authentik GUI Setup
Default username is `akadmin` and password is whatever you entered in the initial setup.
:::note
During testing it is adviced to use Incognito browser windows.
:::
- Browse to `https://auth.domain.com`
Default username is `akadmin` and password is whatever you entered in the chart .Values.
- Once logged in enter the Admin Interface
![Applications-Screen](./img/Applications-Screen.png)
### Create Application
### Create an User
- First step is to create an Application for use with `authentik`
- Create an user or more
![Create-Application](./img/Create-Applications.png)
![New-User-1](./img/New-User-1.png)
![New-User-2](./img/New-User-2.png)
- Specific the `Name` and `Slug` and then choose `Create Provider`
- Set the users password
![Create-Applications-2](./img/Create-Applications-2.png)
![New-User-3](./img/New-User-3.png)
- Choose a new provider `Proxy Provider`.
### Create Application based upon subdomain-level access control `Forward auth (single application)`
![New-Provider-1](./img/New-Provider-1.png)
If you want to use subdomain-level access control, you have to make per subdomain a Provider and an Application.
The example uses `https://sonarr.domain.com/`, make sure your app is reachable and uses a valid certificate beforehand.
- The simplest is to give it a name and use `Forward auth (domain level)`. Once there you enter the `main ingress` URL you use to access `authentik` and the `cookie domain` as the main domain you use.
1. First step is to create an Application for use with `authentik`.
![New-Provider-2](./img/New-Provider-2.png)
![Create-Application](./img/Create-Application.png)
- If you want to use subdomain-level access control, select `Forward auth (single application)` and enter the URL you have chosen for your apps' ingress.
- The example uses `https://application.domain.com/`, make sure your app is reachable and uses a valid certificate beforehand.
- You can set HTTP-Basic Authentication Attributes under `Authentication settings` for your service here.
- Don't use a `basicAuth` middleware in the apps' ingress settings. Only use this if your app has build in basic auth support.
- Add the attributes in a `authentik` group, then assign any user you want to be able to access the application to this group.
2. Specific the `Name` and `Slug` and press `Next`.
![New-Provider-3](./img/New-Provider-3.png)
![New-Application-1](./img/New-Application-1.png)
- Once done use that new `Provider` you created
3. Choose a Provider `Proxy Provider` and press `Next`.
![Create-Applications-3](./img/Create-Applications-3.png)
![New-Application-2](./img/New-Application-2.png)
### Choose Provider
4.
- Configure Proxy Provider by select `Forward auth (single application)` and fill your `External host`.
- Select the preffered `Authorization flow`
- When you scroll down you can enable `Send HTTP-Basic Authentication` under `Authentication settings` and complete the correct keys for your service here. Don't use a `basicAuth` middleware in the apps' ingress settings. Only use this if your app has build in basic auth support. More information upstream [here](https://docs.goauthentik.io/docs/add-secure-apps/providers/proxy/header_authentication). In this how_to we don't use this.
- press `Next`
![New-Application-2](./img/New-Application-3.png)
5. Choose `Bind existing policy/group/user` to assign an user(s), which are allowed to access. If you assign nothing all users are allowed to access. Press Save Binding
![New-Application-4](./img/New-Application-4.png)
6. Review the Application and submit.
![New-Application-5](./img/New-Application-5.png)
### Create Application based upon domain access control `Forward auth (domain level)`
:::note
This is not further tested during creation of this HOW-TO, feel free to complete.
:::
- If you want no controll per sub domain. You can choose at step 4 above `Forward auth (domain level)`.
- Once there you enter the `main ingress` URL you use to access `authentik` and the `cookie domain` as the main domain you use.
- Call it for example as Application name `All` and as provider name `Provider Domain`.
![New-Application-Domain](./img/New-Application-Domain.png)
### Review Provider
If everything was done properly above, you should have the Provider you created assigned to your Application
![Providers](./img/Providers.png)
### Use Embedded Outpost
### Set Embedded Outpost
- Go to `Outposts` and check directly the healthcheck.

- Name your `Outpost` and choose the `Application` you wish to use with `authentik`. Click `Update` and verify it's usage with the Healthcheck below.
![Verify-Outpost](./img/Verify-Outpost.png)
## Traefik ForwardAuth Setup
Once `authentik` is setup and running, you must create a `forwardAuth` inside `Traefik` in order to use authentication with Traefik. For my purposes `auth` is what I used but as long as you remember it you're fine.
![Traefik-forwardAuth](./img/Traefik-forwardAuth.png)
```yaml
middlewares:
forwardAuth:
- name: auth
address: http://authentik-http.authentik.svc.cluster.local:10230/outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/traefik
authResponseHeaders:
- X-authentik-username
- X-authentik-groups
- X-authentik-email
- X-authentik-name
# - authorization # According to previous how_to to pass the HTTP-Basic headers from `authentik` to you application (NOT TESTED)
trustForwardHeader: true
:::note
The main thing about this screen is to use the internal DNS name for simplicity
- I have successfully used an `authentik` instance on a difference host together with `external-service` using this URL:
- `https://authentik-external-service.ix-authentik.svc.cluster.local:9443/outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/traefik`
- Use `heavyscript dns -a` to get the internal DNS name for your `authentik` instance in that case.
- I suggest using the `https` endpoint and port because it is what worked for me.
:::
```shell
http://authentik-http.ix-authentik.svc.cluster.local:10230/outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/traefik
## Other Available authResponseHeaders according upstream documentation: https://docs.goauthentik.io/docs/add-secure-apps/providers/proxy/server_traefik
# - X-authentik-entitlements
# - X-authentik-uid
# - X-authentik-jwt
# - X-authentik-meta-jwks
# - X-authentik-meta-outpost
# - X-authentik-meta-provider
# - X-authentik-meta-app
# - X-authentik-meta-version
```
**Double-check the DNS name and port.**
There's also a list of `authResponseHeaders` inside `authentik` listed for use with `Traefik`, so in case you need them here they are.
- `X-authentik-username`
- `X-authentik-groups`
- `X-authentik-email`
- `X-authentik-name`
- `X-authentik-uid`
- `X-authentik-jwt`
- `X-authentik-meta-jwks`
- `X-authentik-meta-outpost`
- `X-authentik-meta-provider`
- `X-authentik-meta-app`
- `X-authentik-meta-version`
Add the `authorization` header to pass the HTTP-Basic headers from `authentik` to you application.
### Add Traefik forwardAuth to Charts
## Add Traefik forwardAuth to Charts
- Once that is done all you need to add the `middleware` to your Charts under the `Ingress section`, as in my case it's called `auth`.
![Traefik-Middleware](./img/Traefik-Middleware.png)
And that's it.
```yaml
ingress:
main:
enabled: true
integrations:
traefik:
enabled: true
middlewares:
- name: auth
namespace: traefik
```
