---------

The module allows integration with external security systems that can pass along
|
||||
authentication of a user via Remote_User HTTP header field. In many cases, this
|
||||
is achieved via server like Apache HTTPD or nginx proxying Odoo.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important:: When proxying your Odoo server with Apache or nginx, It's
|
||||
important to filter out the Remote_User HTTP header field before your
|
||||
request is processed by the proxy to avoid security issues. In apache you
|
||||
can do it by using the RequestHeader directive in your VirtualHost
|
||||
section ::

|

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName MY_VHOST.com
