For compatibility reason, when you activate the rest provider, you can use `web` or `rest` as `provider` value.
But be careful, in the configuration for all providers the key is still `web`.
### Provider configurations
### Address / Port
You can define a custom address/port like this:
```toml
defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[entryPoints.foo]
address = ":8082"
[entryPoints.bar]
address = ":8083"
[ping]
entryPoint = "foo"
[api]
entryPoint = "bar"
```
In the above example, you would access a regular path, administration panel, and health-check as follows:
* Regular path: `http://hostname:80/path`
* Admin Panel: `http://hostname:8083/`
* Ping URL: `http://hostname:8082/ping`
In the above example, it is _very_ important to create a named dedicated entry point, and do **not** include it in `defaultEntryPoints`.
Otherwise, you are likely to expose _all_ services via that entry point.
### Custom Path
You can define a custom path like this:
```toml
defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[entryPoints.foo]
address = ":8080"
[entryPoints.bar]
address = ":8081"
# Activate API and Dashboard
[api]
entryPoint = "bar"
dashboard = true

[backends.backend1.servers.server1]

[frontends]
[frontends.frontend1]
entryPoints = ["foo"]
backend = "backend1"
[frontends.frontend1.routes.test_1]
rule = "PathPrefixStrip:/yourprefix;PathPrefix:/yourprefix"
```
### Authentication
You can define the authentication like this:
```toml
defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[entryPoints.foo]
address=":8080"
[entryPoints.foo.auth]
[entryPoints.foo.auth.basic]

"test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0",
]

```

!!! warning
Even if you have authentication configured on entry point, the `/ping` path of the api is excluded from authentication.
## Example
## Examples
The `/ping` health-check URL is enabled with the command-line `--ping` or config file option `[ping]`.
Thus, if you have a regular path for `/foo` and an entrypoint on `:80`, you would access them as follows:
* Regular path: `http://hostname:80/foo`
* Admin panel: `http://hostname:8080/`
* Ping URL: `http://hostname:8080/ping`
However, for security reasons, you may want to be able to expose the `/ping` health-check URL to outside health-checkers, e.g. an Internet service or cloud load-balancer, _without_ exposing your administration panel's port.
In many environments, the security staff may not _allow_ you to expose it.
You have two options:
* Enable `/ping` on a regular entry point
* Enable `/ping` on a dedicated port
### Ping health check on a regular entry point
To proxy `/ping` from a regular entry point to the administration one without exposing the panel, do the following:
```toml
defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[ping]
entryPoint = "http"
```shell
curl -sv "http://localhost:8080/ping"
```
```shell
* Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 8080 (#0)
> GET /ping HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8080
> User-Agent: curl/7.43.0
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 01:35:36 GMT
< Content-Length: 2
< Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
<
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
OK
```
The above link `ping` on the `http` entry point and then expose it on port `80`
### Enable ping health check on dedicated port
If you do not want to or cannot expose the health-check on a regular entry point - e.g. your security rules do not allow it, or you have a conflicting path - then you can enable health-check on its own entry point.
Use the following configuration:
```toml
defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[entryPoints.ping]
address = ":8082"
[ping]
entryPoint = "ping"
```
The above is similar to the previous example, but instead of enabling `/ping` on the _default_ entry point, we enable it on a _dedicated_ entry point.
In the above example, you would access a regular path and health-check as follows:
* Regular path: `http://hostname:80/foo`
* Ping URL: `http://hostname:8082/ping`
Note the dedicated port `:8082` for `/ping`.
In the above example, it is _very_ important to create a named dedicated entry point, and do **not** include it in `defaultEntryPoints`.
Otherwise, you are likely to expose _all_ services via this entry point.
