Authentication via X headers like "X-Remote-Email" from Authelia #571

Open andryyy opened 3 years ago

andryyy commented 3 years ago

[X] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Summary

What is the use-case?

Using tools like Authelia which pass X headers to the application after authenticating against them.

Implementation description

Chirpstack could try to read the X-Remote-Email header as set by the proxy and try to determine an existing user with that address.

Can you implement this by yourself and make a pull request?

Sadly no. :-(

@brocaar Is that something I could sponsor for the hourly rate you sent me a while ago?

Hello @andryyy, I do see that there could be use-cases for this feature, but currently there are a few other items I would like to prioritize first, before I could start working on this.
