Class RemoteUserMiddleware

Declaration

Documentation

If request.user is not authenticated, then this middleware attempts to
authenticate the username passed in the ``REMOTE_USER`` request header.
If authentication is successful, the user is automatically logged in to
persist the user in the session.

The header used is configurable and defaults to ``REMOTE_USER``.  Subclass
this class and change the ``header`` attribute if you need to use a
different header.
