# Proxy Provider
!!! info
This provider is to be used in conjunction with [Outposts](../outposts/outposts.md)
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.
passbook Proxy is based on [oauth2_proxy](https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy), but has been integrated more tightly with passbook.
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
```yaml
additionalHeaders:
X-additional-header: bar
```
