Static Users

The following configuration allows to create local users as parts of the definition for local identity store.

local identity store localdb {
    realm local
    path {$HOME}/.local/caddy/localdb/users.json
    user webadmin {
        name Webmaster
        email webadmin@localhost.localdomain
        password "bcrypt:10:$2a$10$WiU7BR1vqCNnzP5rZltJ5Ow5RspiIgnenCCFGSeMPrFFUhHRpkIhe" overwrite
        roles authp/admin authp/user
    }
    user jsmith {
        name John Smith
        email jsmith@localhost.localdomain
        password "My@Password123"
        roles authp/user
    }
}

The overwrite directive instructs the plugin to overwrite the password currently configured in the identity store.

Bcrypt Password Generation​

Install bcrypt-cli to generate passwords for the users in Caddyfile:

go install github.com/bitnami/bcrypt-cli@latest

Generate a password:

echo -n '4d6822b1-bd45-4d26-9b7e-c2f5ffd31ee5' | bcrypt-cli -c 10

Update a user's password in Caddyfile:

password "bcrypt:10:$2a$10$qiw/ajoL7OBAEtFONhH2JuG2B8haotMqKOAa/ig9zUvxRnX6ceTK6" overwrite
