additionalHeaders:

:::info This field is only used by the Proxy Provider. :::

Some applications can be configured to create new users using header information forwarded from authentik. You can forward additional header information by adding each header underneath additionalHeaders:

Example:

additionalHeaders:
  REMOTE-USER: joe.smith
  REMOTE-EMAIL: joe@jsmith.com
  REMOTE-NAME: Joseph

These headers will now be passed to the application when the user logs in. Most applications will need to be configured to accept these headers. Some examples of applications that can accept additional headers from an authentik Proxy Provider are Grafana and Tandoor Recipes.
