## `AUTH_BY_PROXY_HEADER_NAME`

Option | `AUTH_BY_PROXY_HEADER_NAME`
Description | Specifies usernames in header for the proxy
Default | `none`

The proxy must add a header with the username of the end user in the specified header. If the proxy leaves the header blank, the user does not get authenticated, and can thus only access shared dashboards.

ini

    AUTHENTICATION_METHOD=byproxy
    AUTH_BY_PROXY_HEADER_NAME=name-of-http-header

LogScale uses the "Authentication" header as transport from the browser to the LogScale back-end. It's not possible to use a proxy that also uses this header. This rules out using `https://github.com/bitly/oauth2_proxy`.
