Access guard

A forward authentication service that provides email verification.

CI

Overview

  • Limit visitors to only those who successfully verify via email. Where you define which email addresses are allowed to verify.
  • Provides a great alternative to protecting services with basic auth. As there's no need for either shared or individual login credentials.
  • Access guard ships as a docker image and can be started up as an independent service.
  • Have a look at "How it works" to get a better idea of what Access guard will be doing.

Note

You will need an SMTP server that Access guard can configure its SMTP client to send verification emails to.
