Some providers also support preferred_username if it’s unique. emailemailThe user’s email address as provided by the IdP. Not always verified, depending on IdP settings. firstnamegiven_nameThe user’s first name, typically provided by the IdP in the given_name claim. lastnamefamily_nameThe user’s last (family) name, typically provided by the IdP in the family_name claim. phonephone_numberThe user’s phone number. This may require additional scopes/permissions from the IdP to access. departmentCustom claim (e.g., department) If the IdP can provide organizational data, it may store it in a custom claim. Adjust accordingly (e.g., department, org, or another attribute). is_adminCustom claim or derived role If the IdP returns a role or admin flag, you can map that to is_admin. Often this is managed through custom claims or group membership. user_groupsgroups or another custom claimA list of group memberships for the user. Some IdPs provide groups out of the box; others require custom claims or directory lookups.
admin_mapping
- Default: (empty)

Let a front‐end proxy handle HTTPS for you. This also frees you from managing certificates manually and is therefore the preferred option. You can use Nginx, Traefik, Caddy or any other proxy.

- Overview - WireGuard Portal Overview
WireGuard Portal is a simple, web-based configuration portal for WireGuard server management. The portal uses the WireGuard wgctrl library to manage existing VPN interfaces. This allows for the seamless activation or deactivation of new users without disturbing existing VPN connections.
The configuration portal supports using a database (SQLite, MySQL, MsSQL, or Postgres), OAuth or LDAP (Active Directory or OpenLDAP) as a user source for authentication and profile data.
Features
- Self-hosted - the whole application is a single binary
- Responsive multi-language web UI written in Vue.js
- Automatically selects IP from the network pool assigned to the client
- QR-Code for convenient mobile client configuration
- Sends email to the client with QR-code and client config
- Enable / Disable clients seamlessly
- Generation of wg-quick configuration file (
wgX.conf) if required - User authentication (database, OAuth, or LDAP)
- IPv6 ready
- Docker ready
- Can be used with existing WireGuard setups
- Support for multiple WireGuard interfaces
- Peer Expiry Feature
- Handles route and DNS settings like wg-quick does
- Exposes Prometheus metrics for monitoring and alerting
- REST API for management and client deployment
- Webhook for custom actions on peer, interface, or user updates

Upgrade
Major upgrades between different versions may require special procedures, which are described in the following sections.
Upgrade from v1 to v2
Before upgrading from V1, make sure that you have a backup of your currently working configuration files and database!
To start the upgrade process, start the wg-portal binary with the -migrateFrom parameter. The configuration (config.yaml) for WireGuard Portal must be updated and valid before starting the upgrade.
To upgrade from a previous SQLite database, start wg-portal like:
./wg-portal-amd64 -migrateFrom=old_wg_portal.db

+ General - WireGuard Portal General
This documentation section describes the general usage of WireGuard Portal. If you are looking for specific setup instructions, please refer to the Getting Started and Configuration sections, for example, using a Docker deployment.
Basic Concepts
WireGuard Portal is a web-based configuration portal for WireGuard server management. It allows managing multiple WireGuard interfaces and users from a single web UI. WireGuard Interfaces can be categorized into three types:
- Server: A WireGuard server interface that to which multiple peers can connect. In this mode, it is possible to specify default settings for all peers, such as the IP address range, DNS servers, and MTU size.
- Client: A WireGuard client interface that can be used to connect to a WireGuard server. Usually, such an interface has exactly one peer.
- Unknown: This is the default type for imported interfaces. It is encouraged to change the type to either
Server or Client after importing the interface.
Accessing the Web UI
The web UI should be accessed via the URL specified in the external_url property of the configuration file. By default, WireGuard Portal listens on port 8888 for HTTP connections. Check the Security section for more information on securing the web UI.
So the default URL to access the web UI is:
http://localhost:8888
+
A freshly set-up WireGuard Portal instance will have a default admin user with the username admin@wgportal.local and the password wgportal-default. You can and should override the default credentials in the configuration file. Make sure to change the default password immediately after the first login!
Basic UI Description
As seen in the screenshot above, the web UI is divided into several sections which are accessible via the navigation bar on the top of the screen.
- Home: The landing page of WireGuard Portal. It provides a staring point for the user to access the different sections of the web UI. It also provides quick links to WireGuard Client downloads or official documentation.
- Interfaces: This section allows you to manage the WireGuard interfaces. You can add, edit, or delete interfaces, as well as view their status and statistics. Peers for each interface can be managed here as well.
- Users: This section allows you to manage the users of WireGuard Portal. You can add, edit, or delete users, as well as view their status and statistics.
- Key Generator: This section allows you to generate WireGuard keys locally on your browser. The generated keys are never sent to the server. This is useful if you want to generate keys for a new peer without having to store the private keys in the database.
- Profile / Settings: This section allows you to access your own profile page, settings, and audit logs.
Interface View
The interface view provides an overview of the WireGuard interfaces and peers configured in WireGuard Portal.
The most important elements are:
- Interface Selector: This dropdown allows you to select the WireGuard interface you want to manage. All further actions will be performed on the selected interface.
- Create new Interface: This button allows you to create a new WireGuard interface.
- Interface Overview: This section provides an overview of the selected WireGuard interface. It shows the interface type, number of peers, and other important information.
- List of Peers: This section provides a list of all peers associated with the selected WireGuard interface. You can view, add, edit, or delete peers from this list.
- Add new Peer: This button allows you to add a new peer to the selected WireGuard interface.
- Add multiple Peers: This button allows you to add multiple peers to the selected WireGuard interface. This is useful if you want to add a large number of peers at once.

+ LDAP - WireGuard Portal LDAP
WireGuard Portal lets you hook up any LDAP server such as Active Directory or OpenLDAP for both authentication and user sync. You can even register multiple LDAP servers side-by-side. When someone logs in via LDAP, their specific provider is remembered, so there's no risk of cross-provider conflicts. Details on the log-in process can be found in the Security documentation.
If you enable LDAP synchronization, all users within the LDAP directory will be created automatically in the WireGuard Portal database if they do not exist. If a user is disabled or deleted in LDAP, the user will be disabled in WireGuard Portal as well. The synchronization process can be fine-tuned by multiple parameters, which are described below.
LDAP Synchronization
WireGuard Portal can automatically synchronize users from LDAP to the database. To enable this feature, set the sync_interval property in the LDAP provider configuration to a value greater than "0". The value is a string representing a duration, such as "15m" for 15 minutes or "1h" for 1 hour (check the exact format definition for details). The synchronization process will run in the background and synchronize users from LDAP to the database at the specified interval. Also make sure that the sync_filter property is a well-formed LDAP filter, or synchronization will fail.
Limiting Synchronization to Specific Users
Use the sync_filter property in your LDAP provider block to restrict which users get synchronized. It accepts any valid LDAP search filter, only entries matching that filter will be pulled into the portal's database.
For example, to import only users with a mail attribute:
auth:
+ ldap:
+ - id: ldap
+ # ... other settings
+ sync_filter: (mail=*)
+
Disable Missing Users
If you set the disable_missing property to true, any user that is not found in LDAP during synchronization will be disabled in WireGuard Portal. All peers associated with that user will also be disabled.
If you want a user and its peers to be automatically re-enabled once they are found in LDAP again, set the auto_re_enable property to true. This will only re-enable the user if they where disabled by the synchronization process. Manually disabled users will not be re-enabled.

+ Security - WireGuard Portal Security
This section describes the security features available to administrators for hardening WireGuard Portal and protecting its data.
Authentication
WireGuard Portal supports multiple authentication methods, including:
- Local user accounts
- LDAP authentication
- OAuth and OIDC authentication
- Passkey authentication (WebAuthn)
Users can have two roles which limit their permissions in WireGuard Portal:
- User: Can manage their own account and peers.
- Admin: Can manage all users and peers, including the ability to manage WireGuard interfaces.
Password Security
WireGuard Portal supports username and password authentication for both local and LDAP-backed accounts. Local users are stored in the database, while LDAP users are authenticated against an external LDAP server.
On initial startup, WireGuard Portal automatically creates a local admin account with the password wgportal-default.
This password must be changed immediately after the first login.
The minimum password length for all local users can be configured in the auth section of the configuration file. The default value is 16 characters, see min_password_length. The minimum password length is also enforced for the default admin user.
Passkey (WebAuthn) Authentication
Besides the standard authentication mechanisms, WireGuard Portal supports Passkey authentication. This feature is enabled by default and can be configured in the webauthn section of the configuration file.
Users can register multiple Passkeys to their account. These Passkeys can be used to log in to the web UI as long as the user is not locked.
Passkey authentication does not disable password authentication. The password can still be used to log in (e.g., as a fallback).
To register a Passkey, open the settings page (1) in the web UI and click on the "Register Passkey" (2) button.
OAuth and OIDC Authentication
WireGuard Portal supports OAuth and OIDC authentication. You can use any OAuth or OIDC provider that supports the authorization code flow, such as Google, GitHub, or Keycloak.
For OAuth or OIDC to work, you need to configure the external_url property in the web section of the configuration file. If you are planning to expose the portal to the internet, make sure that the external_url is configured to use HTTPS.
To add OIDC or OAuth authentication to WireGuard Portal, create a Client-ID and Client-Secret in your OAuth provider and configure a new authentication provider in the auth section of the configuration file. Make sure that each configured provider has a unique provider_name property set. Samples can be seen here.
Limiting Login to Specific Domains
You can limit the login to specific domains by setting the allowed_domains property for OAuth or OIDC providers. This property is a comma-separated list of domains that are allowed to log in. The user's email address is checked against this list. For example, if you want to allow only users with an email address ending in outlook.com to log in, set the property as follows:
auth:
+ oidc:
+ - provider_name: "oidc1"
+ # ... other settings
+ allowed_domains:
+ - "outlook.com"
+
Limit Login to Existing Users
You can limit the login to existing users only by setting the registration_enabled property to false for OAuth or OIDC providers. If registration is enabled, new users will be created in the database when they log in for the first time.
Admin Mapping
You can map users to admin roles based on their attributes in the OAuth or OIDC provider. To do this, set the admin_mapping property for the provider. Administrative access can either be mapped by a specific attribute or by group membership.
Attribute specific mapping can be achieved by setting the admin_value_regex and the is_admin property. The admin_value_regex property is a regular expression that is matched against the value of the is_admin attribute. The user is granted admin access if the regex matches the attribute value.
Example:
auth:
+ oidc:
+ - provider_name: "oidc1"
+ # ... other settings
+ field_map:
+ is_admin: "wg_admin_prop"
+ admin_mapping:
+ admin_value_regex: "^true$"
+
The example above will grant admin access to users with the wg_admin_prop attribute set to true. Group membership mapping can be achieved by setting the admin_group_regex and user_groups property. The admin_group_regex property is a regular expression that is matched against the group names of the user. The user is granted admin access if the regex matches any of the group names.
Example:
auth:
+ oidc:
+ - provider_name: "oidc1"
+ # ... other settings
+ field_map:
+ user_groups: "groups"
+ admin_mapping:
+ admin_group_regex: "^the-admin-group$"
+
The example above will grant admin access to users who are members of the the-admin-group group. LDAP Authentication
WireGuard Portal supports LDAP authentication. You can use any LDAP server that supports the LDAP protocol, such as Active Directory or OpenLDAP. Multiple LDAP servers can be configured in the auth section of the configuration file. WireGuard Portal remembers the authentication provider of the user and therefore avoids conflicts between multiple LDAP providers.
To configure LDAP authentication, create a new ldap authentication provider in the auth section of the configuration file.
Limiting Login to Specific Users
You can limit the login to specific users by setting the login_filter property for LDAP provider. This filter uses the LDAP search filter syntax. The username can be inserted into the query by placing the {{login_identifier}} placeholder in the filter. This placeholder will then be replaced with the username entered by the user during login.
For example, if you want to allow only users with the objectClass attribute set to organizationalPerson to log in, set the property as follows:
auth:
+ ldap:
+ - provider_name: "ldap1"
+ # ... other settings
+ login_filter: "(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(uid={{login_identifier}}))"
+
The login_filter should always be designed to return at most one user.
Limit Login to Existing Users
You can limit the login to existing users only by setting the registration_enabled property to false for LDAP providers. If registration is enabled, new users will be created in the database when they log in for the first time.
Admin Mapping
You can map users to admin roles based on their group membership in the LDAP server. To do this, set the admin_group and memberof property for the provider. The admin_group property defines the distinguished name of the group that is allowed to log in as admin. All groups that are listed in the memberof attribute of the user will be checked against this group. If one of the groups matches, the user is granted admin access.
UI and API Access
WireGuard Portal provides a web UI and a REST API for user interaction. It is important to secure these interfaces to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
HTTPS
It is recommended to use HTTPS for all communication with the portal to prevent eavesdropping.
Event though, WireGuard Portal supports HTTPS out of the box, it is recommended to use a reverse proxy like Nginx or Traefik to handle SSL termination and other security features. A detailed explanation is available in the Reverse Proxy section.

It is built on the official Alpine Linux base image and comes pre-packaged with all necessary WireGuard dependencies.
This container allows you to establish WireGuard VPN connections without relying on a host system that supports WireGuard or using the linuxserver/wireguard Docker image.
The recommended method for deploying WireGuard Portal is via Docker Compose for ease of configuration and management.
A sample docker-compose.yml (managing WireGuard interfaces directly on the host) is provided below:
---\nservices:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n restart: unless-stopped\n logging:\n options:\n max-size: \"10m\"\n max-file: \"3\"\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n # Use host network mode for WireGuard and the UI. Ensure that access to the UI is properly secured.\n network_mode: \"host\"\n volumes:\n # left side is the host path, right side is the container path\n - /etc/wireguard:/etc/wireguard\n - ./data:/app/data\n - ./config:/app/config\n
By default, the webserver for the UI is listening on port 8888 on all available interfaces.
Volumes for /app/data and /app/config should be used ensure data persistence across container restarts.
"},{"location":"documentation/getting-started/docker/#wireguard-interface-handling","title":"WireGuard Interface Handling","text":"WireGuard Portal supports managing WireGuard interfaces through three distinct deployment methods, providing flexibility based on your system architecture and operational preferences:
-
Directly on the host system: WireGuard Portal can control WireGuard interfaces natively on the host, without using containers. This setup is ideal for environments where direct access to system networking is preferred. To use this method, you need to set the network mode to host in your docker-compose.yml file.
services:\n wg-portal:\n ...\n network_mode: \"host\"\n ...\n
If host networking is used, the WireGuard Portal UI will be accessible on all the host's IP addresses if the listening address is set to :8888 in the configuration file. To avoid this, you can bind the listening address to a specific IP address, for example, the loopback address (127.0.0.1:8888). It is also possible to deploy firewall rules to restrict access to the WireGuard Portal UI.
-
Within the WireGuard Portal Docker container: WireGuard interfaces can be managed directly from within the WireGuard Portal container itself. This is the recommended approach when running WireGuard Portal via Docker, as it encapsulates all functionality in a single, portable container without requiring a separate WireGuard host or image.
services:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n ...\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n ports:\n # host port : container port\n # WireGuard port, needs to match the port in wg-portal interface config (add one port mapping for each interface)\n - \"51820:51820/udp\" \n # Web UI port\n - \"8888:8888/tcp\"\n sysctls:\n - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1\n volumes:\n # host path : container path\n - ./wg/data:/app/data\n - ./wg/config:/app/config\n
-
Via a separate Docker container: WireGuard Portal can interface with and control WireGuard running in another Docker container, such as the linuxserver/wireguard image. This method is useful in setups that already use linuxserver/wireguard or where you want to isolate the VPN backend from the portal frontend. For this, you need to set the network mode to service:wireguard in your docker-compose.yml file, wireguard is the service name of your WireGuard container.
services:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n ...\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n network_mode: \"service:wireguard\" # So we ensure to stay on the same network as the wireguard container.\n volumes:\n # host path : container path\n - ./wg/etc:/etc/wireguard\n - ./wg/data:/app/data\n - ./wg/config:/app/config\n\n wireguard:\n image: lscr.io/linuxserver/wireguard:latest\n container_name: wireguard\n restart: unless-stopped\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n ports:\n # host port : container port\n - \"51820:51820/udp\" # WireGuard port, needs to match the port in wg-portal interface config\n - \"8888:8888/tcp\" # Noticed that the port of the web UI is exposed in the wireguard container.\n volumes:\n - ./wg/etc:/config/wg_confs # We share the configuration (wgx.conf) between wg-portal and wireguard\n sysctls:\n - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1\n
As the linuxserver/wireguard image uses wg-quick to manage the interfaces, you need to have at least the following configuration set for WireGuard Portal: core:\n # The WireGuard container uses wg-quick to manage the WireGuard interfaces - this conflicts with WireGuard Portal during startup.\n # To avoid this, we need to set the restore_state option to false so that wg-quick can create the interfaces.\n restore_state: false\n # Usually, there are no existing interfaces in the WireGuard container, so we can set this to false.\n import_existing: false\nadvanced:\n # WireGuard Portal needs to export the WireGuard configuration as wg-quick config files so that the WireGuard container can use them.\n config_storage_path: /etc/wireguard/\n

To upgrade from a previous SQLite database, start wg-portal like:
./wg-portal-amd64 -migrateFrom=old_wg_portal.db\n

The upgrade will transform the old, existing database and store the values in the new database specified in the config.yaml configuration file. Ensure that the new database does not contain any data!
If you are using Docker, you can adapt the docker-compose.yml file to start the upgrade process:

It is built on the official Alpine Linux base image and comes pre-packaged with all necessary WireGuard dependencies.
This container allows you to establish WireGuard VPN connections without relying on a host system that supports WireGuard or using the linuxserver/wireguard Docker image.
The recommended method for deploying WireGuard Portal is via Docker Compose for ease of configuration and management.
A sample docker-compose.yml (managing WireGuard interfaces directly on the host) is provided below:
---\nservices:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n restart: unless-stopped\n logging:\n options:\n max-size: \"10m\"\n max-file: \"3\"\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n # Use host network mode for WireGuard and the UI. Ensure that access to the UI is properly secured.\n network_mode: \"host\"\n volumes:\n # left side is the host path, right side is the container path\n - /etc/wireguard:/etc/wireguard\n - ./data:/app/data\n - ./config:/app/config\n
By default, the webserver for the UI is listening on port 8888 on all available interfaces.
Volumes for /app/data and /app/config should be used ensure data persistence across container restarts.
"},{"location":"documentation/getting-started/docker/#wireguard-interface-handling","title":"WireGuard Interface Handling","text":"WireGuard Portal supports managing WireGuard interfaces through three distinct deployment methods, providing flexibility based on your system architecture and operational preferences:
-
Directly on the host system: WireGuard Portal can control WireGuard interfaces natively on the host, without using containers. This setup is ideal for environments where direct access to system networking is preferred. To use this method, you need to set the network mode to host in your docker-compose.yml file.
services:\n wg-portal:\n ...\n network_mode: \"host\"\n ...\n
If host networking is used, the WireGuard Portal UI will be accessible on all the host's IP addresses if the listening address is set to :8888 in the configuration file. To avoid this, you can bind the listening address to a specific IP address, for example, the loopback address (127.0.0.1:8888). It is also possible to deploy firewall rules to restrict access to the WireGuard Portal UI.
-
Within the WireGuard Portal Docker container: WireGuard interfaces can be managed directly from within the WireGuard Portal container itself. This is the recommended approach when running WireGuard Portal via Docker, as it encapsulates all functionality in a single, portable container without requiring a separate WireGuard host or image.
services:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n ...\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n ports:\n # host port : container port\n # WireGuard port, needs to match the port in wg-portal interface config (add one port mapping for each interface)\n - \"51820:51820/udp\" \n # Web UI port\n - \"8888:8888/tcp\"\n sysctls:\n - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1\n volumes:\n # host path : container path\n - ./wg/data:/app/data\n - ./wg/config:/app/config\n
-
Via a separate Docker container: WireGuard Portal can interface with and control WireGuard running in another Docker container, such as the linuxserver/wireguard image. This method is useful in setups that already use linuxserver/wireguard or where you want to isolate the VPN backend from the portal frontend. For this, you need to set the network mode to service:wireguard in your docker-compose.yml file, wireguard is the service name of your WireGuard container.
services:\n wg-portal:\n image: wgportal/wg-portal:v2\n container_name: wg-portal\n ...\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n network_mode: \"service:wireguard\" # So we ensure to stay on the same network as the wireguard container.\n volumes:\n # host path : container path\n - ./wg/etc:/etc/wireguard\n - ./wg/data:/app/data\n - ./wg/config:/app/config\n\n wireguard:\n image: lscr.io/linuxserver/wireguard:latest\n container_name: wireguard\n restart: unless-stopped\n cap_add:\n - NET_ADMIN\n ports:\n # host port : container port\n - \"51820:51820/udp\" # WireGuard port, needs to match the port in wg-portal interface config\n - \"8888:8888/tcp\" # Noticed that the port of the web UI is exposed in the wireguard container.\n volumes:\n - ./wg/etc:/config/wg_confs # We share the configuration (wgx.conf) between wg-portal and wireguard\n sysctls:\n - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1\n
As the linuxserver/wireguard image uses wg-quick to manage the interfaces, you need to have at least the following configuration set for WireGuard Portal: core:\n # The WireGuard container uses wg-quick to manage the WireGuard interfaces - this conflicts with WireGuard Portal during startup.\n # To avoid this, we need to set the restore_state option to false so that wg-quick can create the interfaces.\n restore_state: false\n # Usually, there are no existing interfaces in the WireGuard container, so we can set this to false.\n import_existing: false\nadvanced:\n # WireGuard Portal needs to export the WireGuard configuration as wg-quick config files so that the WireGuard container can use them.\n config_storage_path: /etc/wireguard/\n

Also make sure that the sync_filter property is a well-formed LDAP filter, or synchronization will fail.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/ldap/#limiting-synchronization-to-specific-users","title":"Limiting Synchronization to Specific Users","text":"Use the sync_filter property in your LDAP provider block to restrict which users get synchronized. It accepts any valid LDAP search filter, only entries matching that filter will be pulled into the portal's database.
For example, to import only users with a mail attribute:
auth:\n ldap:\n - id: ldap\n # ... other settings\n sync_filter: (mail=*)\n
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/ldap/#disable-missing-users","title":"Disable Missing Users","text":"If you set the disable_missing property to true, any user that is not found in LDAP during synchronization will be disabled in WireGuard Portal. All peers associated with that user will also be disabled.
If you want a user and its peers to be automatically re-enabled once they are found in LDAP again, set the auto_re_enable property to true. This will only re-enable the user if they where disabled by the synchronization process. Manually disabled users will not be re-enabled.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/","title":"Security","text":"This section describes the security features available to administrators for hardening WireGuard Portal and protecting its data.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#authentication","title":"Authentication","text":"WireGuard Portal supports multiple authentication methods, including:
- Local user accounts
- LDAP authentication
- OAuth and OIDC authentication
- Passkey authentication (WebAuthn)
Users can have two roles which limit their permissions in WireGuard Portal:
- User: Can manage their own account and peers.
- Admin: Can manage all users and peers, including the ability to manage WireGuard interfaces.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#password-security","title":"Password Security","text":"WireGuard Portal supports username and password authentication for both local and LDAP-backed accounts. Local users are stored in the database, while LDAP users are authenticated against an external LDAP server.
On initial startup, WireGuard Portal automatically creates a local admin account with the password wgportal-default.
This password must be changed immediately after the first login.
The minimum password length for all local users can be configured in the auth section of the configuration file. The default value is 16 characters, see min_password_length. The minimum password length is also enforced for the default admin user.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#passkey-webauthn-authentication","title":"Passkey (WebAuthn) Authentication","text":"Besides the standard authentication mechanisms, WireGuard Portal supports Passkey authentication. This feature is enabled by default and can be configured in the webauthn section of the configuration file.
Users can register multiple Passkeys to their account. These Passkeys can be used to log in to the web UI as long as the user is not locked.
Passkey authentication does not disable password authentication. The password can still be used to log in (e.g., as a fallback).
To register a Passkey, open the settings page (1) in the web UI and click on the \"Register Passkey\" (2) button.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#oauth-and-oidc-authentication","title":"OAuth and OIDC Authentication","text":"WireGuard Portal supports OAuth and OIDC authentication. You can use any OAuth or OIDC provider that supports the authorization code flow, such as Google, GitHub, or Keycloak.
For OAuth or OIDC to work, you need to configure the external_url property in the web section of the configuration file. If you are planning to expose the portal to the internet, make sure that the external_url is configured to use HTTPS.
To add OIDC or OAuth authentication to WireGuard Portal, create a Client-ID and Client-Secret in your OAuth provider and configure a new authentication provider in the auth section of the configuration file. Make sure that each configured provider has a unique provider_name property set. Samples can be seen here.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#limiting-login-to-specific-domains","title":"Limiting Login to Specific Domains","text":"You can limit the login to specific domains by setting the allowed_domains property for OAuth or OIDC providers. This property is a comma-separated list of domains that are allowed to log in. The user's email address is checked against this list. For example, if you want to allow only users with an email address ending in outlook.com to log in, set the property as follows:
auth:\n oidc:\n - provider_name: \"oidc1\"\n # ... other settings\n allowed_domains:\n - \"outlook.com\"\n
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#limit-login-to-existing-users","title":"Limit Login to Existing Users","text":"You can limit the login to existing users only by setting the registration_enabled property to false for OAuth or OIDC providers. If registration is enabled, new users will be created in the database when they log in for the first time.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#admin-mapping","title":"Admin Mapping","text":"You can map users to admin roles based on their attributes in the OAuth or OIDC provider. To do this, set the admin_mapping property for the provider. Administrative access can either be mapped by a specific attribute or by group membership.
Attribute specific mapping can be achieved by setting the admin_value_regex and the is_admin property. The admin_value_regex property is a regular expression that is matched against the value of the is_admin attribute. The user is granted admin access if the regex matches the attribute value.
Example:
auth:\n oidc:\n - provider_name: \"oidc1\"\n # ... other settings\n field_map:\n is_admin: \"wg_admin_prop\"\n admin_mapping:\n admin_value_regex: \"^true$\"\n
The example above will grant admin access to users with the wg_admin_prop attribute set to true. Group membership mapping can be achieved by setting the admin_group_regex and user_groups property. The admin_group_regex property is a regular expression that is matched against the group names of the user. The user is granted admin access if the regex matches any of the group names.
Example:
auth:\n oidc:\n - provider_name: \"oidc1\"\n # ... other settings\n field_map:\n user_groups: \"groups\"\n admin_mapping:\n admin_group_regex: \"^the-admin-group$\"\n
The example above will grant admin access to users who are members of the the-admin-group group."},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#ldap-authentication","title":"LDAP Authentication","text":"WireGuard Portal supports LDAP authentication. You can use any LDAP server that supports the LDAP protocol, such as Active Directory or OpenLDAP. Multiple LDAP servers can be configured in the auth section of the configuration file. WireGuard Portal remembers the authentication provider of the user and therefore avoids conflicts between multiple LDAP providers.
To configure LDAP authentication, create a new ldap authentication provider in the auth section of the configuration file.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#limiting-login-to-specific-users","title":"Limiting Login to Specific Users","text":"You can limit the login to specific users by setting the login_filter property for LDAP provider. This filter uses the LDAP search filter syntax. The username can be inserted into the query by placing the {{login_identifier}} placeholder in the filter. This placeholder will then be replaced with the username entered by the user during login.
For example, if you want to allow only users with the objectClass attribute set to organizationalPerson to log in, set the property as follows:
auth:\n ldap:\n - provider_name: \"ldap1\"\n # ... other settings\n login_filter: \"(&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(uid={{login_identifier}}))\"\n
The login_filter should always be designed to return at most one user.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#limit-login-to-existing-users_1","title":"Limit Login to Existing Users","text":"You can limit the login to existing users only by setting the registration_enabled property to false for LDAP providers. If registration is enabled, new users will be created in the database when they log in for the first time.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#admin-mapping_1","title":"Admin Mapping","text":"You can map users to admin roles based on their group membership in the LDAP server. To do this, set the admin_group and memberof property for the provider. The admin_group property defines the distinguished name of the group that is allowed to log in as admin. All groups that are listed in the memberof attribute of the user will be checked against this group. If one of the groups matches, the user is granted admin access.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#ui-and-api-access","title":"UI and API Access","text":"WireGuard Portal provides a web UI and a REST API for user interaction. It is important to secure these interfaces to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
"},{"location":"documentation/usage/security/#https","title":"HTTPS","text":"It is recommended to use HTTPS for all communication with the portal to prevent eavesdropping.
Event though, WireGuard Portal supports HTTPS out of the box, it is recommended to use a reverse proxy like Nginx or Traefik to handle SSL termination and other security features. A detailed explanation is available in the Reverse Proxy section.
