<title>External authentication with Identity</title>
<para>When Identity 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 and Kerberos, 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. Identity can allow the web server to
perform the authentication. The web server then passes the
authenticated user to Identity by using the
<literal>REMOTE_USER</literal> environment variable.
This user must already exist in the Identity back end to
get a token from the controller. To use this method,
Identity should run on
<literal>apache-httpd</literal>.</para>

<section xml:id="keystone-x509-auth">
