### Login via header from upstream authentication source
If your reverse proxy has some kind of authentication mechanism, you can configure Calibre-web to log users in based on headers received from the proxy. If using this feature, it's important that only the proxy is exposed to users, because if the Calibre-web instance is at all directly exposed to traffic, then a malicious user will be able to log in as any user that exists via simply setting a header.
In the admin configuration, check the box marked `Allow Reverse Proxy Authentication`, and then fill in the text box that appears with the name of the header that will contain the username.
