Secure ingresses

To secure unwanted access (for example, on /magnolia/.admincentral or similar) and to avoid crawlers accessing unpublished content, it’s usually a good idea to work with IP Whitelisting on Ingress-Nginx and Robots-Tags (such as X-Robots-Tag:noindex, nofollow).

Instructions

  1. First ensure you are connected to your DX Cloud Kubernetes Cluster using the correct kubeconfig.

  2. Create an HTPASSWD file.

    # Create HTPASSWD File
$ htpasswd -c auth myadmin
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user myadmin

  3. Convert to a Kubernetes secret.

    $ kubectl create -n dev secret generic basic-auth --from-file=auth
secret/basic-auth created

  4. Annotate on the ingress and add whitelisting.

    $ kubectl edit -n prod ingress myingress

  5. Create the annotation template to update the ingress.

    $  k annotate -n dev ingress --overwrite=true dev-magnolia-helm \
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm="PLEASE LOGIN:" \
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret=dev/basic-auth \
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type=basic \
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range="37.120.189.19/32,2a03:4000:6:b665::46/128,23.235.32.0/20,43.249.72.0/22,103.244.50.0/24,103.245.222.0/23,103.245.224.0/24,104.156.80.0/20,140.248.64.0/18,140.248.128.0/17,146.75.0.0/17,151.101.0.0/16,157.52.64.0/18,167.82.0.0/17,167.82.128.0/20,167.82.160.0/20,167.82.224.0/20,172.111.64.0/18,185.31.16.0/22,199.27.72.0/21,199.232.0.0/16" \           (1)
    1 Set the IP whitelisting for IPv4/v6 IPs and Subnets. To test before deployment, you can leave this out during a dry run (Subnets—​dry-run=client).

    The following IPs must be whitelisted for Fastly to work properly. The example above includes these IPs, so feel free to copy those.

    23.235.32.0/20,43.249.72.0/22,103.244.50.0/24,103.245.222.0/23,103.245.224.0/24,104.156.80.0/20,140.248.64.0/18,140.248.128.0/17,146.75.0.0/17,151.101.0.0/16,157.52.64.0/18,167.82.0.0/17,167.82.128.0/20,167.82.160.0/20,167.82.224.0/20,172.111.64.0/18,185.31.16.0/22,199.27.72.0/21,199.232.0.0/16

  6. Run a remote --dry-run=client if fine and apply it.

    $ k get ingress -n dev dev-magnolia-helm -o yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod

...

Test Basic Auth and Whitelisting

  1. Run the following command:

    $ curl ifconfig.me
87.123.205.103%

$ curl https://dev.azurepaas.magnolia-platform.com
<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

Require authentication from permitted IP range

  1. Run the following command:

    $ curl ifconfig.me
37.120.189.19%

$ curl https://dev.azurepaas.magnolia-platform.com
<html>
<head><title>401 Authorization Required</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>401 Authorization Required</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

  2. Authenticate via Basic Auth using your stored credentials:

    $ curl https://dev.azurepaas.magnolia-platform.com -u myadmin:myadmin

    Verbose output

    $ curl -v https://dev.azurepaas.magnolia-platform.com -H 'Host: dev.azurepaas.magnolia-platform.com' -u myadmin:myadmin
