Build Level 3
Tamper-evident proof of how and from what sources this image was built. Build Level 3 is the highest the SLSA build track defines.
CycloneDX SBOM + SPDX SBOM
A software bill of materials in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats so it drops straight into your existing tooling. Audit exactly what you're shipping.
A Vulnerability Exploitability exchange document, Docker's assessment of which CVEs actually affect this image and which don't apply, so you can focus on real risk instead of chasing false positives.
Available
A link to everything used to build the image, package source code, Git repos, and build files, so you can audit or reproduce the build and stay compliant with open source licenses.
Every known vulnerability in this image, shown in full rather than hidden. The VEX data flags which ones actually apply, so you can tell real exposure from noise before you ship.
Exactly what changed in this build, down to the package bumps and fixes behind the version you're pulling.
Verifies no keys, tokens, or credentials were accidentally baked into the image.
The image layers were scanned for known malware signatures before publishing.
About NGINX LDAP Auth
nginx-ldap-auth is a reference implementation of an LDAP authentication daemon for the NGINX auth_request module,
published by Nginx Inc. NGINX proxies an internal subrequest to the daemon, which validates the client's HTTP Basic
credentials (or an authentication cookie) against an LDAP directory -- OpenLDAP or Microsoft Active Directory -- and
answers with 200 (allow) or 401 (deny) so NGINX can gate access to a protected backend.
Warning: The upstream project states that it is "not designed or hardened for production" and is intended as a model for building such connector daemons. Evaluate that caveat against your requirements before using this image as a production authentication gateway, and follow the hardened NGINX configuration in the usage guide -- in particular the
internalandproxy_pass_request_headers offdirectives, TLS to the LDAP server, and keeping port 8888 unreachable from clients.
