HAProxy load balancer basic authentication how to

Basic Authentication
When your traffic is HTTP, you can use Basic authentication to display a login prompt to users. Configuring it is easy, but it does have one drawback: credentials are transmitted in the clear over HTTP. You can mitigate this exposure by enabling TLS to encrypt the traffic.

Usernames and their associated passwords are stored in HAProxy Enterprise's running memory.

To define them, create a userlist section. Each entry in this section has a user field to indicate the username and an insecure-password field to indicate the password.
In your frontend section, enable TLS on your bind line so that credentials will be encrypted when transmitted between the client and load balancer.
