Hello, we´ve just updated the statistics settings for our haproxy environment, when i noticed that haproxy has support for userlists.
In the past, we´ve used the "stats" configuration in every backend and "stats auth" with plain text passwords. Now the whole "stats" related config is in the defaults section, but still using plaintext passwords. >From what i´ve found so far, it is possible to authenticate stats against userlists and crypted hashes, but this requires an "acl" and an "if" in every backend - this is a lot of config if you have 50 backens or more. So it would be great, if you would add a new config option, f.e. "stats userlist <userlist>" which could be placed in the defaults sections. This would give us an easy config, since we have to define the authentication once and it is available in every backend and additionally we have the security of sha512 hashes. Here is an example how it might be: defaults stats enable stats uri /admin?stats stats show-legends stats show-node stats userlist adminlist userlist adminlist group G1 users tiger,scott user tiger password $6$k6y3o.eP$JlKBx9za9667qe4(...)xHSwRv6J.C0/D7cV91 user scott insecure-password elgato backend foo -> no stats config here Thank you, Regards, Christian
