Another option for remote authentication in NetBox is to enable HTTP header-based user assignment. The front end HTTP server (e.g. nginx or Apache) performs client authentication as a process external to NetBox, and passes information about the authenticated user via HTTP headers. By default, the user is assigned via the `REMOTE_USER` header, but this can be customized via the `REMOTE_AUTH_HEADER` configuration parameter.
Optionally, user profile information can be supplied by `REMOTE_USER_FIRST_NAME`, `REMOTE_USER_LAST_NAME` and `REMOTE_USER_EMAIL` headers. These are saved to the users profile during the authentication process. These headers can be customized like the ``REMOTE_USER`` header.

When remote user authentication is in use, this is the name of the HTTP header which informs NetBox of the email address of the currently authenticated user. For example, to use the request header `X-Remote-User-Email` it needs to be set to `HTTP_X_REMOTE_USER_EMAIL`. (Requires `REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED`.)
