Proxy Provider
info
This provider is to be used in conjunction with Outposts
This provider protects applications, which have no built-in support for OAuth2 or SAML. This is done by running a lightweight Reverse Proxy in front of the application, which authenticates the requests.
authentik Proxy is based on oauth2_proxy, but has been integrated more tightly with authentik.
The Proxy these extra headers to the application:
| Header Name | Value |
|---|---|
| X-Forwarded-User | The user's unique identifier (not the username) |
| X-Forwarded-Email | The user's email address |
| X-Forwarded-Preferred-Username | The user's username |
| X-Auth-Username | The user's username |
Additionally, you can add more custom headers using additionalHeaders in the User or Group Properties, for example
