Configuration Options
General
Passwords must be encoded using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt.
!!! tip
Use `htpasswd` to generate the passwords.
users
The users option is an array of authorized users. Each user will be declared using the name:encoded-password format.
!!! Note
If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The content of `usersFile` has precedence over `users`.
usersFile
The usersFile option is the path to an external file that contains the authorized users for the middleware.
The file content is a list of name:encoded-password.
??? example "A file containing test/test and test2/test2"
```
test:$apr1$H6uskkkW$IgXLP6ewTrSuBkTrqE8wj/
test2:$apr1$d9hr9HBB$4HxwgUir3HP4EsggP/QNo0
```
!!! Note
If both `users` and `usersFile` are provided, the two are merged. The content of `usersFile` has precedence over `users`.
realm
You can customize the realm for the authentication with the realm option. The default value is traefik.
