A security app and plugin for Caddy v2 providing authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). It supports Form-Based, Basic, Local, LDAP, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML authentication, MFA/2FA, and JWT/PASETO-based request authorization.

Use cases

  • add single sign-on to a Caddy web server
  • protect backend services behind OAuth2 or OpenID Connect login
  • authorize HTTP requests with JWT or PASETO tokens
  • enable MFA and YubiKey-based two-factor authentication
  • integrate LDAP or SAML authentication with Caddy
  • implement access control lists for web routes

When to choose

  • you already use Caddy v2 and want built-in AAA without a separate auth proxy
  • you need multiple auth protocols (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML, LDAP) in one plugin
  • you want token-based authorization with JWT or PASETO

When to avoid

  • you run nginx, Traefik, or another reverse proxy instead of Caddy
  • you need a standalone identity provider rather than a gateway plugin
  • you require extensive enterprise support or a large maintainer team
