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.

passbook Proxy is based on 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

additionalHeaders:
    X-additional-header: bar
