===== Authentication =====

==== Authelia SSO (Single Sign-On) ====

**Protected Services:**
  * Most admin interfaces require Authelia login
  * One login grants access to all protected services
  * Supports 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

**Login Process:**
  1. Visit any protected service URL
  2. Redirected to Authelia login page
  3. Enter username and password
  4. (Optional) Enter 2FA code
  5. Redirected back to original service

**Default Credentials:**
  * Username: `admin` (or custom from setup)
  * Password: Secure password from setup

==== Service-Specific Authentication ====

**No SSO (Direct Access):**
  * **Jellyfin/Plex**: Use service's built-in user management
  * **Home Assistant**: Built-in authentication system
  * **Nextcloud**: Can use Authelia or built-in auth

**VPN-Protected Services:**
  * **qBittorrent**: Routes through Gluetun VPN
  * Access via web UI after Authelia login

===== Security Features =====

==== SSL/TLS Encryption ====

**Wildcard Certificate:**
  * Covers all `*.yourdomain.duckdns.org` subdomains
  * Issued by Let's Encrypt (free)
  * Automatic renewal every 90 days
  * A+ SSL rating

**Certificate Details:**

===== Troubleshooting Access =====

==== SSL Certificate Issues ====

**"Not Secure" warnings:**

  * Verify ports 80/443 forwarded
  * Check Traefik logs: `docker logs traefik`

**Certificate errors:**
```bash
# Check certificate status
echo | openssl s_client -connect yourdomain.duckdns.org:443 -servername dockge.yourdomain.duckdns.org 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject -dates
```

==== Authentication Problems ====
