Hi There,

I have installed loki in my client to monitoring logs.

This is my config

```auto

  auth_config:
    basic_auth:
      enabled: true
      users_file: /etc/loki/.htpasswd

common:
  path_prefix: /etc/loki
  storage:
    filesystem:
      chunks_directory: /etc/loki/chunks
      rules_directory: /etc/loki/rules
  replication_factor: 1
  ring:
    instance_addr: 0.0.0.0
    kvstore:

@iwan2323 please, check the doc: [Authentication | Grafana Loki documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/operations/authentication/)

as far as i know, currently there is no way to configure basic auth natively in Loki. However, you could configure an nginx with basic auth in front on loki so as to force at least some kind of authentication.
