Authenticate users based on the user’s information (username) received in the HTTP headers.This feature is commonly used in settings where a reverse proxy/vpn is used and it requires user authentication.
Enable Header Based Authentication
It allows users to log in automatically based on a request header. If you have reverse proxy or VPN and it generally requires user authentication. Then, when the user accesses the application, some proxies or VPNs send the username in the request headers.
If header authentication is enabled, the plugin authenticates this user into the application without prompting for credentials again.
