I want to disable basic auth only on a specific subpath of my App. How this can be done?
e.g.
All subpaths should be basic auth secured:
/
This path should be an exception and public reachable:
/#/public
ingress.yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: app
labels:
app: app
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: basic-auth
ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: "Authentication Required"
spec:
rules:
- host: "<MYHOST>"
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: app-service
servicePort: 80
tls:
- secretName: "app-secret"
hosts:
- "<MYHOST>"
The path you're trying to use ( /#/public
) never reachs the server, the client send only /
. That's the reason why you are unable to disable de auth.
The symbol (#) is a separator for URL fragment identifier. The rfc2396 explains it.
The semantics of a fragment identifier is a property of the data resulting from a retrieval action, regardless of the type of URI used in the referenc
If you tail the logs of your ingress pod you'll see the url that reachs the backend.
An additional note, if you need the url to reach the server then you need to urlencode it, /%23/public
but, it's something with a different meaning.
Regards.
