authorization server by default, no matter whether they are specified
in HeadersToExtAuth or not.
failOpenbooleanfalseFailOpen is a switch used to control the behavior when a response from the External Authorization service cannot be obtained.
If FailOpen is set to true, the system allows the traffic to pass through.
Otherwise, if it is set to false or not set (defaulting to false),
the system blocks the traffic and returns a HTTP 5xx error, reflecting a fail-closed approach.
This setting determines whether to prioritize accessibility over strict security in case of authorization service failure.
recomputeRoutebooleanfalseRecomputeRoute clears the route cache and recalculates the routing decision.

if these sequences were present.
Redirect occurs after path normalization and merge slashes transformations if
they were configured. gRPC requests will be rejected with the INTERNAL (13)
error code.
This option minimizes possibility of path confusion exploits by forcing request
with unescaped slashes to traverse all parties: downstream client, intermediate
proxies, Envoy and upstream server.
The “httpN.downstream_rq_redirected_with_normalized_path” counter is incremented
for each redirected request.
UnescapeAndForwardUnescapeAndForward unescapes %2F and %5C sequences and forwards the request.

control as it may lead to path confusion vulnerabilities.

routing only to endpoints on the same node as the traffic was received on
(dropping the traffic if there are no local endpoints).

Appears in:

ValueDescription
