 Reverse Proxy Authentication
 ============================
 
+This authentication method is often used for [SSO](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on) (Single Sign-On) especially for large organizations.
+
+The authentication is done by another system, Kanboard doesn't know your password and suppose you are already authenticated.
+
 Requirements
 ------------
 
-- A well configured reverse proxy (or Apache auth on the same server), that performs authentication and sends the authenticated username to Kanboard using a HTTP header. It is useful if you have yet some SSO (Single-Sign-On) in your organization, so you should know what your are doing.
+- A well configured reverse proxy
+
+or
+
+- Apache auth on the same server
+
 
 How does this work?
 -------------------
 
-- Your reverse proxy authenticates the user and adds a HTTP header containing its login to the request. The default header name or how to specify it should be in the reverse proxy documentation, however:
+1. Your reverse proxy authenticates the user and send the username through a HTTP header.
-  - If it is the same web server that runs Kanboard, the CGI spec specifies this header to be REMOTE_USER (see [RFC 3875](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875) §4.1.11). For example, Apache adds REMOTE_USER by default if `Require valid-user` is set. Note this header is only set for CGI (like PHP), and not if Apache is a reverse proxy to another Apache running Kanboard. It works the same with IIS and nginx according to their documentation.
+2. Kanboard retreive the username from the request
-  - If it is a real reverse proxy, the HTTP ICAP extension draft spec proposes the header to be X-Authenticated-User (see [IETF draft spec §3.4](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-stecher-icap-subid-00#section-3.4)). This de-facto standart has been adopted by a number of tools.
+    - The user is created automatically if necessary
-- Kanboard retrieves the value of the specified HTTP header, and:
+    - Open a new Kanboard session without any prompt assuming it's valid
-  - If the user does not exist yet, creates it (it also checks if it is the default admin).
-  - **Authenticates the given user without any prompt, assuming it's valid (so it does NOT prompt the login page)**.
