   > Unsure what remote auth is. Is this a beta feature? Do you have 
reproducible steps?
   
   It is described in the discussion forum by dosubot: 
https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/35040. According to the post, 
"Superset supports this natively out of the box". And it does, in 5.0.0. But I 
spend a long time before I realised that in 6.0.0 (rc2) it did not work.
   
   The steps to reproduce are to add the three lines (see initial post) to the 
superset_config.py file and then make sure that all requests to Superset are 
sent with an HTTP request header called HTTP_X_AUTH_REQUEST_EMAIL, set to the 
user name for Superset (e.g. [email protected]). Instead of the header variable 
HTTP_X_AUTH_REQUEST_EMAIL, you can configure a different HTTP header name, as 
long as the header sent with the http requests to Superset matches the header 
name configured in the superset_config.py.
   
   This allows an authenticating proxy to do the authentication outside of 
Superset instead of having to configure authentication specifically within 
Superset. If you have multiple applications that all need authentication, this 
prevents the need to implement the authentication mechanism for each 
application individually.
