Teleport
Teleport Configuration Reference
Version preview- Older Versions
Teleport uses the YAML file format for configuration. A full configuration
reference file is shown below. This provides comments and all available options
for teleport.yaml
.
By default, Teleport reads its configuration from /etc/teleport.yaml
.
Before using this reference
Do not use this example configuration in production.
You must edit your configuration file to meet the needs of your environment. Using a copy of the reference configuration will have unintended effects. To create a configuration file that you can use as a starting point, run the following command:
teleport configure -o file
There are also configure
commands available for the SSH Service and Database
Service. See our documentation on teleport node configure
and teleport db configure
in the Teleport CLI Reference.
You should back up your configuration file before making changes. This will enable you to roll back to the previous configuration if you need to.
Enabling Teleport services
The teleport
process can run multiple services.
For some services, you must enable the service within your Teleport configuration in order to start it. Other services are enabled by default.
To enable or disable a service, include the following in your Teleport
configuration, replacing service_name
with the name of your service (service
names are listed below):
service_name:
enabled: "no"
Teleport supports the following services:
Service | Configuration section | Enabled by default |
---|---|---|
Application Service | app_service | ❌ |
Auth Service | auth_service | ✅ |
Database Service | db_service | ❌ |
Discovery Service | discovery_service | ❌ |
Kubernetes Service | kubernetes_service | ❌ |
Proxy Service | proxy_service | ✅ |
SSH Service | ssh_service | ✅ |
Desktop Service | windows_desktop_service | ❌ |
Okta Service | okta_service | ❌ |
Jamf Service | jamf_service | ❌ |
Teleport Cloud manages the Auth Service and Proxy Service for you. Instances of Teleport services (e.g., the Application Service and Database Service) should include the following configuration options to avoid unintended effects:
auth_service:
enabled: false
proxy_service:
enabled: false
Reference configurations
These example configurations include all possible configuration options in YAML format to demonstrate proper use of indentation.

# (optional) Determines whether desktop sessions will show a user-selected wallpaper
# vs a system-default, single-color wallpaper. For improved visual performance,
# set this to false (its default value).
show_desktop_wallpaper: false
# (optional) ldap contains configuration keys used when connecting Teleport
# to an Active Directory domain. This enables the discovery service for
# Windows desktops belonging to an Active Directory domain configured for
# Teleport access.
ldap:
# Address of the LDAP server for secure LDAP connections.
# Usually, this address will use port 636, like: ldap.example.com:636.
# For best results, this address should point to a highly-available
# endpoint rather than a single domain controller.
addr: '$LDAP_SERVER_ADDRESS'
# Optional: the server name to use when validating the LDAP server's
# certificate. Useful in cases where addr is an IP but the server
# presents a cert with some other hostname.
server_name: '$LDAP_SERVER_NAME'
# You can skip LDAPS certificate verification by setting
# this to true. It is recommended that this be set to false
# and the certificate added your system's trusted repository,
# or provided as a PEM encoded certificate using ldap_ca_cert variable.
# You can provide a filepath with der_ca_file, but this behavior is deprecated.
insecure_skip_verify: false
# PEM encoded LDAP CA certificate.

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
*certificate data*
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
# DER encoded LDAP CA certificate.
# deprecated: prefer ldap_ca_cert instead
der_ca_file: /path/to/cert
# Active Directory domain name you are connecting to.
domain: '$LDAP_DOMAIN_NAME'
# LDAP username for authentication. This username must include the domain
# NetBIOS name. The use of single quotes here is intentional in order to
# avoid the need to escape the backslash (\) character.
#
# For example, if your domain is "example.com", the NetBIOS name for it is
# likely "EXAMPLE". When connecting as the "svc-teleport" user, you should
# use the format: "EXAMPLE\svc-teleport".
username: '$LDAP_USERNAME'
# The security identifier of the service account specified by the username
# field above. This looks like a string starting with "S-".
#
# Any AD user with permission to read user objects can obtain this value
# by opening a PowerShell and running
# ```
# Get-AdUser -Identity $LDAP_USERNAME | Select SID
# ```
#
# The value can be obtained over LDAP by constructing a query with the
# filter = (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=$LDAP_USERNAME))
# and requesting the attribute = objectSid
sid: '$LDAP_USER_SID'
# (optional) When AD support is used, this field allows you to override
# the domain that Teleport uses for PKI operations. If empty, the domain
# from the ldap section is used. This can be useful for cases where PKI
# is configured in a root domain but Teleport is used to provide access
# to users and computers in a child domain.
pki_domain: root.example.com
# (optional) static_hosts is a list of hosts to register as WindowsDesktop
# objects in Teleport. You can define host name and labels directly.
static_hosts:
- name: example1
ad: false
addr: win1.dev.example.com
labels:

# (optional) settings for enabling automatic desktop discovery via LDAP
discovery:
# The wildcard '*' character tells Teleport to discover all the hosts in
# the Active Directory Domain. To refine the search, specify a custom DN.
# To disable automatic discovery, leave this field blank.
base_dn: '*'
# (optional) LDAP filters for further customizing the LDAP search.
# See https://ldap.com/ldap-filters for details on LDAP filter syntax.
filters:
- '(location=Oakland)'
- '(!(primaryGroupID=516))' # exclude domain controllers
# (optional) LDAP attributes to convert into Teleport labels.
# The key of the label will be "ldap/" + the value of the attribute.
label_attributes:
- location
# Rules for applying labels to Windows hosts based on regular expressions
# matched against the host name. If multiple rules match, the desktop will
# get the union of all matching labels.
#
# The rules for matching static hosts and discovered hosts
# are slightly different. See https://goteleport.com/docs/desktop-access/rbac/
# for details.
host_labels:
- match: '^.*\.dev\.example\.com'
labels:

Configuration versions
In order to avoid breaking existing configurations, Teleport's configuration is
versioned. The newer configuration version is v3
. If a version
is not
specified in the configuration file, v1
is assumed.
Some new Teleport features require users to opt-in by explicitly upgrading their configuration to a newer version.
Config v1
v1
is the original version of Teleport's file configuration. It is still supported
today, but most new users should start with the latest configuration version.
Config v2
Configuration version v2
was introduced in Teleport 8 as part of Teleport's
TLS routing feature. With TLS routing, Teleport's proxy listens on a single port
and uses ALPN and SNI to route incoming traffic to the correct Teleport service
rather than listening on multiple protocol-specific ports.
For backwards compatibility, configuration version v1
always listens on these
protocol-specific ports. When Teleport is using configuration version v2
, the
individual protocol-specific ports are not opened unless explicitly set.
Config v3
Configuration version v3
was introduced with Teleport 11. In version 3, the
auth_servers
field is no longer supported, and agents must specify one of
auth_server
or proxy_server
to indicate which endpoint to use for joining a
Teleport cluster.
Previous versions of Teleport allowed for auth_servers
to point to Auth
Servers or Proxy Servers. As a result, Teleport would try to connect in multiple
different modes, resulting in confusing error messages. With config version 3,
Teleport only attempts to connect in a single mode, which is both more efficient
and easier to troubleshoot.
For example, this excerpt from a v2
config can be converted to v3
with the
following changes.
-version: v2
+version: v3
teleport:
- auth_servers: [ teleport.example.com:443 ]
+ proxy_server: teleport.example.com:443
