It reads auth credentials from Authorization http header (Basic Auth, Bearer token and InfluxDB authorization is supported), matches them against configs pointed by -auth.config command-line flag and proxies incoming HTTP requests to the configured per-user url_prefix on successful match. The -auth.config can point to either local file or to http url.
Quick start
Just download vmutils-* archive from releases page, unpack it and pass the following flag to vmauth binary in order to start authorizing and routing requests:
/path/to/vmauth -auth.config=/path/to/auth/config.yml
After that vmauth starts accepting HTTP requests on port 8427 and routing them according to the provided -auth.config. The port can be modified via -httpListenAddr command-line flag.
The auth config can be reloaded via the following ways:
SIGHUP signal to vmauth./-/reload http endpoint. This endpoint can be protected with -reloadAuthKey command-line flag. See security docs for more details.-configCheckInterval=5s will re-read the config and apply new changes every 5 seconds.See how vmauth used in docker-compose env at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/deployment/docker/README.md#victoriametrics-cluster.
Pass -help to vmauth in order to see all the supported command-line flags with their descriptions.
Feel free contacting us if you need customized auth proxy for VictoriaMetrics with the support of LDAP, SSO, RBAC, SAML, accounting and rate limiting such as https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmgateway.html .

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install vmauth, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install vmauth
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
