`oauth2_proxy` can be configured via [config file](#config-file), [command line options](#command-line-options) or [environment variables](#environment-variables).
To generate a strong cookie secret use `python -c 'import os,base64; print base64.urlsafe_b64encode(os.urandom(16))'`
An example [oauth2_proxy.cfg]({{ site.gitweb }}/contrib/oauth2_proxy.cfg.example) config file is in the contrib directory. It can be used by specifying `-config=/etc/oauth2_proxy.cfg`
-extra-jwt-issuers: if -skip-jwt-bearer-tokens is set, a list of extra JWT issuer=audience pairs (where the issuer URL has a .well-known/openid-configuration or a .well-known/jwks.json)
-footer string: custom footer string. Use "-" to disable default footer.
-gcp-healthchecks: will enable /liveness_check, /readiness_check, and / (with the proper user-agent) endpoints that will make it work well with GCP App Engine and GKE Ingresses (default false)
-github-org string: restrict logins to members of this organisation
-github-team string: restrict logins to members of any of these teams (slug), separated by a comma

-logging-max-age int: Maximum number of days to retain old log files (default 7)
-logging-max-backups int: Maximum number of old log files to retain; 0 to disable (default 0)
-logging-max-size int: Maximum size in megabytes of the log file before rotation (default 100)
-jwt-key string: private key in PEM format used to sign JWT, so that you can say something like -jwt-key="${OAUTH2_PROXY_JWT_KEY}": required by login.gov
-jwt-key-file string: path to the private key file in PEM format used to sign the JWT so that you can say something like -jwt-key-file=/etc/ssl/private/jwt_signing_key.pem: required by login.gov
-redis-connection-url string: URL of redis server for redis session storage (eg: redis://HOST[:PORT])
-redis-sentinel-master-name string: Redis sentinel master name. Used in conjuction with --redis-use-sentinel
-redis-sentinel-connection-urls: List of Redis sentinel conneciton URLs (eg redis://HOST[:PORT]). Used in conjuction with --redis-use-sentinel
-redis-use-sentinel: Connect to redis via sentinels. Must set --redis-sentinel-master-name and --redis-sentinel-connection-urls to use this feature (default: false)
-whitelist-domain: allowed domains for redirection after authentication. Prefix domain with a . to allow subdomains (eg .example.com)
```
Note, when using the `whitelist-domain` option, any domain prefixed with a `.` will allow any subdomain of the specified domain as a valid redirect URL.
See below for provider specific options
### Upstreams Configuration
`oauth2_proxy` supports having multiple upstreams, and has the option to pass requests on to HTTP(S) servers or serve static files from the file system. HTTP and HTTPS upstreams are configured by providing a URL such as `http://127.0.0.1:8080/` for the upstream parameter, that will forward all authenticated requests to be forwarded to the upstream server. If you instead provide `http://127.0.0.1:8080/some/path/` then it will only be requests that start with `/some/path/` which are forwarded to the upstream.
Static file paths are configured as a file:// URL. `file:///var/www/static/` will serve the files from that directory at `http://[oauth2_proxy url]/var/www/static/`, which may not be what you want. You can provide the path to where the files should be available by adding a fragment to the configured URL. The value of the fragment will then be used to specify which path the files are available at. `file:///var/www/static/#/static/` will ie. make `/var/www/static/` available at `http://[oauth2_proxy url]/static/`.
Multiple upstreams can either be configured by supplying a comma separated list to the `-upstream` parameter, supplying the parameter multiple times or provinding a list in the [config file](#config-file). When multiple upstreams are used routing to them will be based on the path they are set up with.
By default, OAuth2 Proxy logs all output to stdout. Logging can be configured to output to a rotating log file using the `-logging-filename` command.
If logging to a file you can also configure the maximum file size (`-logging-max-size`), age (`-logging-max-age`), max backup logs (`-logging-max-backups`), and if backup logs should be compressed (`-logging-compress`).
There are three different types of logging: standard, authentication, and HTTP requests. These can each be enabled or disabled with `-standard-logging`, `-auth-logging`, and `-request-logging`.
Each type of logging has their own configurable format and variables. By default these formats are similar to the Apache Combined Log.
Logging of requests to the `/ping` endpoint can be disabled with `-silence-ping-logging` reducing log volume. This flag appends the `-ping-path` to `-exclude-logging-paths`.
Authentication logs are logs which are guaranteed to contain a username or email address of a user attempting to authenticate. These logs are output by default in the below format:
| Client | 74.125.224.72 | The client/remote IP address. Will use the X-Real-IP header it if exists. |
| Host | domain.com | The value of the Host header. |
| Protocol | HTTP/1.0 | The request protocol. |
| RequestDuration | 0.001 | The time in seconds that a request took to process. |
| RequestMethod | GET | The request method. |
| RequestURI | "/oauth2/auth" | The URI path of the request. |
| ResponseSize | 12 | The size in bytes of the response. |
| StatusCode | 200 | The HTTP status code of the response. |
| Timestamp | 19/Mar/2015:17:20:19 -0400 | The date and time of the logging event. |
| Upstream | - | The upstream data of the HTTP request. |
| UserAgent | - | The full user agent as reported by the requesting client. |
| Username | username@email.com | The email or username of the auth request. |
### Standard Log Format
All other logging that is not covered by the above two types of logging will be output in this standard logging format. This includes configuration information at startup and errors that occur outside of a session. The default format is below:
If you require a different format than that, you can configure it with the `-standard-logging-format` flag. The default format is configured as follows:
| Timestamp | 19/Mar/2015:17:20:19 -0400 | The date and time of the logging event. |
| File | main.go:40 | The file and line number of the logging statement. |
| Message | HTTP: listening on 127.0.0.1:4180 | The details of the log statement. |
## <a name="nginx-auth-request"></a>Configuring for use with the Nginx `auth_request` directive
The [Nginx `auth_request` directive](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_auth_request_module.html) allows Nginx to authenticate requests via the oauth2_proxy's `/auth` endpoint, which only returns a 202 Accepted response or a 401 Unauthorized response without proxying the request through. For example:
You have to substitute *name* with the actual cookie name you configured via --cookie-name parameter. If you don't set a custom cookie name the variable should be "$upstream_cookie__oauth2_proxy_1" instead of "$upstream_cookie_name_1" and the new cookie-name should be "_oauth2_proxy_1=" instead of "name_1=".
