Cloudflare Access Bitwarden | An Overview

Today, we are going to take a quick look at integrating Cloudflare Access with a Bitwarden instance. This integration usually involves adding an extra layer of security and control to access the Bitwarden service.

1. To begin with, we have to sign up for a Cloudflare account if we don’t have one.
2. Then, add our domain to Cloudflare and update our DNS settings to point to Cloudflare’s nameservers.
3. Now, it is time to enable Cloudflare Access for our domain.
4. We have to configure authentication methods like Cloudflare Access login, social login, or third-party identity providers.
5. Next, we have to set up Access Policies that define who can access our protected resources.
6. Then, it is time to install and configure a Bitwarden server instance. Furthermore, this can be a self-hosted instance or a Bitwarden subscription service.
7. At this point, we have to make sure that Bitwarden is set up to use secure communication protocols to encrypt data in transit.
8. Now, we have to create a new Cloudflare Access Application specifically for our Bitwarden service.
9. Then, we have to configure the Application settings, specifying the internal IP address or domain where our Bitwarden instance is hosted.
10. Furthermore, define Access Policies that control who can access the Bitwarden service. These policies may include conditions based on user roles, device posture, etc.

When a user tries to access Bitwarden, they go through Cloudflare Access authentication. This involves entering a username and password, multi-factor authentication, or leveraging existing identity providers.

Cloudflare Access sets up a secure connection between the user and the Bitwarden service, using HTTPS to encrypt the data in transit.
