Description

XWiki authentication based on HTTP headers

Warning

This authenticator is now superseded by a newer more versatile version available as an adapter for the new trusted authentication framework. From many minor ones, an important limitation of this authenticator compared to the new one, is that user fields are never synchronised for existing users

See https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-authenticator-headers/blob/master/README.md
