We have recently begun using the community/OSS tyk gateway product (version 4.0.6), and I’m struggling to lock down an endpoint. I have set up an API without authentication and can access it successfully through the gateway. I am now trying to restrict access using Basic Auth, but find that the endpoint does not block unauthorized requests.
My API definition (which includes “use_basic_auth” set to true) as returned by the GET tyk/apis endpoint:

I have created a Basic Auth user key, as can be seen here (as accessed at the GET tyk/keys) endpoint:
{
"keys": [
"eyJvcmciOiIxIiwiaWQiOiJ3b29kc2oiLCJoIjoibXVybXVyMTI4In0=",
]
}
The definition used to create the key above (POSTed to /tyk/keys/woodsj) looks like this:
{
"allowance": 1000,
"rate": 1000,
"per": 1,
"expires": -1,
"quota_max": -1,
"org_id": "1",
"quota_renews": 1449051461,
"quota_remaining": -1,
"quota_renewal_rate": 60,
"access_rights": {
"2": {
"api_id": "2",
"api_name": "demoapi",
"versions": ["Default"]
}
},
"meta_data": {},
"basic_auth_data": {
"password": "xyzzy"
}
}
I have tried with and without (empty file) a policy in policies/policies.json. My current policies.json looks like this (note running in k8s from OCI image, so policies are in /mnt/tyk-gateway/policies):
$ cat /mnt/tyk-gateway/policies/policies.json
{
"default": {
"rate": 1000,
"per": 1,
"quota_max": 100,
"quota_renewal_rate": 60,
"access_rights": { },
"org_id": "1",
"hmac_enabled": false
}
}
I am guessing that something is wrong with my policies.json file. I would expect that this proide the default access to any APIs tyk manages, with the policy attached to the key overriding the defaults.
