Enable authentication for Aptly repositories¶

This section describes how to enable authentication for Aptly repositories. In this case, access to Aptly API is restricted to anonymous users and granted through <aptly_user>:<aptly_user_password>.

Prior to enabling authentication, configure it through the installed proxy service such as NGINX or HAProxy:

• If Aptly is running on the offline node or in the non-Swarm mode, configure authentication through NGINX.
• Starting from the MCP 2019.2.7 maintenance update, if Aptly is running on the cid nodes, configure authentication through HAProxy.
