Call for docs: delegated authentication configuration examples

1

@innotech-research you contributed the delegated auth feature, which is super useful. I’d like to make a blog post about a practical use of this.
Do you have an nginx/apache reverse proxy configuration examples that show how to integrate with one or more authentication systems?

Here are some samples, but the precise configuration will vary widely depending upon the exact situation.

If I assume an apache configuration where basic authentication has been configured, then the following proxy configuration will put the username in the X-Remote-User header, and configure the /es path to forward connections to an elasticsearch cluster on the same machine.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.+)
RewriteRule . - [E=RU:%1]
RequestHeader set X-Remote-User %{RU}e

Proxypass /es http://localhost:9200
Proxypassreverse /es http://localhost:9200
