<p>I have a service that has HTTP Basic Auth. In front of it  I have nginx Ingress, who also has basic-auth. How can I attach Authorization header with the credentials after Sign In with the Ingress, to achieve Single-Sign-On?</p>

<p>This is the configuration of my Ingress:</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: Authentication Required
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: kibana-user-basic-auth
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic
  name: kibana-user
  namespace: {{.Release.Namespace}}
spec:
  tls:
  - secretName: kibana-tls
    hosts:
    - {{.Values.ingress.user.host}}
  rules:
  - host: {{.Values.ingress.user.host}}
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: kibana-logging
          servicePort: {{ .Values.kibana.service.internalPort }}
        path: /
</code></pre>

<p>You could use the annotation <code>nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet:  proxy_set_header Authorization $http_authorization;</code> to forward the <code>Authorization</code> header to the back end service.</p>

<p>The Ingress resource should looks like this</p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: Authentication Required
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: kibana-user-basic-auth
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: basic
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: "proxy_set_header Authorization $http_authorization;"
  name: kibana-user
  namespace: {{.Release.Namespace}}
spec:
  tls:
  - secretName: kibana-tls
    hosts:
    - {{.Values.ingress.user.host}}
  rules:
  - host: {{.Values.ingress.user.host}}
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: kibana-logging
          servicePort: {{ .Values.kibana.service.internalPort }}
        path: /
</code></pre>
