<title>External authentication with the Identity
Service</title>
<para>When the Identity Service runs in <literal>apache-httpd</literal>,
you can use external authentication methods that differ from
the authentication provided by the identity store back-end.
For example, you can use an SQL identity back-end together with
X.509 authentication, Kerberos, and so on instead of using the
user name and password combination.</para>
<section xml:id="keystone-httpd-auth">
<title>Use HTTPD authentication</title>
<para>Web servers, like Apache HTTP, support many methods of
authentication. The Identity Service can allow the web
server to perform the authentication. The web server then
passes the authenticated user to the Identity Service by
using the <literal>REMOTE_USER</literal> environment variable.
This user must already exist in the Identity Service
back-end so as to get a token from the controller. To use
this method, the Identity Service should run on
<literal>apache-httpd</literal>.</para>
