.. versionadded:: 2.6
REMOTE_USER pre authenticated firewall was introduced in Symfony 2.6.

A lot of authentication modules, like ``auth_kerb` for Apache provide the username
using the ``REMOTE_USER`` environment variable. This variable can be trusted by
the application since the authentication happened before the request reached it.

To configure Symfony using the ``REMOTE_USER` environment variable, simply enable the

please swap the two lines above

<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services">

<config>
<firewall name="secured_area" pattern="^/">
<remote-user provider="your_user_provider"/>
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>

.. code-block:: php

// app/config/security.php
$container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
'firewalls' => array(
'secured_area' => array(
'pattern' => '^/'
'remote_user' => array(
'provider' => 'your_user_provider',
),
),
),
));

The firewall will then provide the ``REMOTE_USER`` environment variable to
your user provider. You can change the variable name used by setting the ``user``
key in the ``remote_user`` firewall configuration.

.. note::

Just like for X509 authentication, you will need to configure a "user provider".
See :ref:`the note about it <cookbook-security-pre-authenticated-user-provider-note>`.
