• Propose a brand new feature

What is the problem that your feature request solves

I want to authenticate with a custom backend like Authelia

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

User should be able to switch to a custom backend in the settings for authentication and set custom header

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Creating a middelware manually and setting proper header for authentication and adding it to settings.py solves this issue locally... see: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/auth-remote-user/

Authelia sets the Remote-User which translates to HTTP_REMOTE_USER

How badly do you want this new feature?

• It would be nice to have eventually

• I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
