+# Enforcing anonymous access with Kuadrant AuthPolicy
+
+Learn how to allow anonymous access to certain endpoints using Kuadrant's `AuthPolicy`
+
+## Requisites
+
+- [Docker](https://docker.io)
+
+## Run the guide ① → ④
+
+### ①  Setup 
+
+Clone the repo:
+
+```sh
+git clone git@github.com:Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator.git && cd kuadrant-operator
+```
+
+Run the following command to create a local Kubernetes cluster with [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/), install & deploy Kuadrant:
+
+```sh
+make local-setup
+```
+
+Request an instance of Kuadrant in the `kuadrant-system` namespace:
+
+```sh
+kubectl -n kuadrant-system apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1beta1
+kind: Kuadrant
+metadata:
+  name: kuadrant
+spec: {}
+EOF
+```
+
+### ② Deploy the Talker API
+
+```sh
+kubectl apply -f examples/toystore/toystore.yaml
+
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: HTTPRoute
+metadata:
+  name: toystore
+spec:
+  parentRefs:
+  - name: kuadrant-ingressgateway
+    namespace: gateway-system
+  hostnames:
+  - api.toystore.com
+  rules:
+  - matches: # rule-1
+    - method: GET
+      path:
+        type: PathPrefix
+        value: "/cars"
+    backendRefs:
+    - name: toystore
+      port: 80
+  - matches: # rule-2
+    - method: GET
+      path:
+        type: PathPrefix
+        value: "/public"
+    backendRefs:
+    - name: toystore
+      port: 80
+EOF
+```
+
+Export the gateway hostname and port:
+
+```sh
+export INGRESS_HOST=$(kubectl get gtw kuadrant-ingressgateway -n gateway-system -o jsonpath='{.status.addresses[0].value}')
+export INGRESS_PORT=$(kubectl get gtw kuadrant-ingressgateway -n gateway-system -o jsonpath='{.spec.listeners[?(@.name=="http")].port}')
+export GATEWAY_URL=$INGRESS_HOST:$INGRESS_PORT
+```
+
+Test requests to the unprotected application:
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/cars -i
+# HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+```
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/public -i
+# HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+```
+
+### ③ Protect the Toy Store application
+
+Create an `AuthPolicy` to protect the `HTTPRoute`:
+
+```sh
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1
+kind: AuthPolicy
+metadata:
+  name: route-auth
+spec:
+  targetRef:
+    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
+    kind: HTTPRoute
+    name: toystore
+  defaults:
+    strategy: atomic
+    rules:
+      authorization:
+        deny-all:
+          opa:
+            rego: "allow = false"
+EOF
+```
+
+Test requests to the protected application:
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/cars -i
+# HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
+```
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/public -i
+# HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
+```
+
+### ④ Allow Anonymous Access to the Public Route
+Create an `AuthPolicy` to enable anonymous access for the `/public` rule:
+
+```sh
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1
+kind: AuthPolicy
+metadata:
+  name: rule-2-auth
+spec:
+  targetRef:
+    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
+    kind: HTTPRoute
+    name: toystore
+    sectionName: rule-2
+  defaults:
+    rules:
+      authentication:
+        "public":
+          anonymous: {}
+EOF
+```
+
+The example above enables anonymous access (i.e. removes authentication) to the `/public` rule of the `HTTPRoute`.
+
+### ④ Consume the API
+
+Test requests to the application protected by Kuadrant:
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/cars -i
+# HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
+```
+
+```sh
+curl -H 'Host: api.toystore.com' http://$GATEWAY_URL/public -i
+# HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```sh
+kubectl delete -f examples/toystore/toystore.yaml
+kubectl delete httproute toystore
+kubectl delete authpolicy route-auth
+kubectl delete authpolicy rule-2-auth
+kubectl delete kuadrant kuadrant -n kuadrant-system
+```
