HAProxy Listen Block

Giganic

Hey,

I'm hoping someone will be able to assist with my query. I'm trying to get Authentik working, however due to a limitation with the haproxy-auth-request lua script I need to create another listen block, which I cannot seem to be able to.

I have tried searching a fair bit before creating this post, am seeking help as I've run out of options of what to try.

This is the configuration lines that I'm looking to add somehow through the pfsense GUI.

backend auth_request_backend
  mode http  
  server proxy 127.0.0.1:8080

listen auth_request_proxy
  mode http
  bind 127.0.0.1:8080

  server example example.com:443 ssl

Grateful for any advice or information that can be shared with how I can accomplish this.

Thank you!

Maybe it becomes more clear if you explain, what you try to achieve exactly.

@viragomann I would like to be able to authenticate a few services using a Forward auth provider in Authentik, since a number of applications I am hosting don't provide any form of authentication natively.

I wasn't trying to dig too deep since based on the research I've done, if I can add a secondary listen block it should resolve my problem, but happy to hear if there is an alternative.

I'm sadly not familiar with Authentik, so I don't know another way.

I'd think, that there isn't any possibility to add an additional listen section to the HAproxy configuration in pfSense. All settings are generated from the GUI and there is no option for doing that.
