I didn't think of authenticating proxy hosts using oidc, but the UI itself. Can this PR be used for that?

[jc21]

I'll say no. However you could create a proxy host for the admin interface and put it behind oidc but then you'll also need to log in to the ui after oidc.. also I think the Authentication header would clash so yeah scrap that idea.

Alternative UI authentication options won't be added to v2. They can be considered for v3, though the list of features to add for that is already huge.

[erikthegamer1242]

Could you please add it in v3 or point me to how to contribute and make it happen?

I also use Authelia and would love a Proxy/Header Authentication.

Could we set some kind of a bounty for this feature. I would be willing to pay for this.
