Cloudron Forum

@joseph Not sure if I can follow. I understand what @girish said in App proxy questions and proxy/authentication possible improvement suggestions But from Cloudron's POV, there is authentication and authorization But basically adding the option to add optional Authentication in front of any app (presumably through the web server) would be very useful in a lot of cases. This is already a feature in the proxy app but would be good to be a toggle in any app.

@rossmaclean Currently, there is a limitation that "auth" stuff (including LDAP integration) cannot be turned on and off dynamically. It is chosen at install time. Since the app didn't have proxyAuth initially, it cannot be turned on later with an update. Will put a note in the docs.

I was able to reproduce both issues, thanks for reporting! The proxy auth cookie secret is not persisted. It's stored in platform runtime data. I have migrated this into the database. Redirection logic was incorrect when the token is invalid. This is also fixed.

OK, this got sorted out by enabling basicAuth flag. Thanks for testing @mehdi

@girish On it. Neat! This fixed it. Big thanks for the uddate.

@girish Yep! That fixed it!

@saikarthik Yes, the proxy addon seems good for what you are looking for. However, it's not available yet, it'll only be released with Cloudron 6 (I think the devs estimated about 2 weeks, but it's only an estimate). Also, it does not allow for more fine-grained control, so if you want to restrict only a few things, you'll have to do it manually, and in that case yeah you can take inspiration in the Surfer app for example.
