Beside the Kerberos authentication, elogd version 3.0 and higher can be configured to accept a authentication done
by the webserver.
<ul>
<li>
<b><code>Authentication = Webserver</code></b>
</li>
</ul>
</p>

You can also combine it with other authentication methods as shown for Kerberos.

Elogd is then accepting the username set in the Request-Header "X-Forwarded-User" as already logged in.<br/>
To make this work, you need to configure the webserver correctly, as describe in the adminguide.
