How to set auth-http plugin header in docker container?

[jayaraj]

I am not able to pass auth.http.header.Authorization from Docker environment variables. Is there any other method to specify the parameters

You can reference document here:https://github.com/emqx/emqx-rel/tree/master/deploy/docker, also same issue here:https://github.com/emqx/emqx-auth-http/issues/204#issuecomment-701530384.

I am facing the same issue. Were you able to solve it @jayaraj ?

I am using the docker image emqx/emqx:v4.2.9, I have tried to pass it as the following env var, but no luck:

EMQX_AUTH__HTTP__HEADER__AUTHORIZATION = "text"

The broker logs while starting up shows that it's not recognizing it

emqx          | auth.http.acl_req=host.docker.internal:8080/api/v1/authenticate
emqx          | auth.http.acl_req.method=post
emqx          | auth.http.acl_req.params=username=%u,topic=%t
emqx          | auth.http.auth_req=host.docker.internal:8080/api/v1/authenticate
emqx          | auth.http.auth_req.content_type=json
emqx          | auth.http.auth_req.method=post
emqx          | auth.http.auth_req.params=username=%u,password=%P
emqx          | cluster.autoclean=5m
emqx          | cluster.autoclean=5m

I've tried the above because it's what is determined in the plugin conf file:

https://github.com/emqx/emqx-auth-http/blob/master/etc/emqx_auth_http.conf#L156-L162

and in the doc for this version : https://docs.emqx.io/en/broker/v4.2/advanced/auth-http.html#http-request-information

~~but I've also tried to pass it as the doc says using the below, but it didn't work as well~~

~~EMQX_AUTH__HTTP__AUTH_REQ__HEADERS__AUTHORIZATION = "text"~~ (realized the doc I was seeing was from a different version)
