Basic Auth

Add a browser username/password prompt by running your HTTP service privately behind a basic-auth proxy.

Prerequisites

• A Sliplane account
• A private HTTP service that you want to secure with basic auth

Setup

1. Fork the basic-auth-proxy repository

2. Give Sliplane access to your forked repository

3. Set the healthcheck to /health

4. Set the following environment variables:

   PORT=8080
   HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_USER=yourusername
   HTTP_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=yourpassword
   PRIVATE_WEBSITE_URL=the-url-of-your-private-service, including protocol and port

   You can find the private website URL by clicking on the service in the Sliplane dashboard and looking at the URL field.

5. Deploy the service

Open the proxy’s public URL and sign in with the configured username and password.
