Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature you'd like
Would be useful to let user authenticate via env vars like REMOTE_AUTH (set by a reverse proxy).
This permits some sso products to be used with bookstack.
Also enable basic auth and not only via forms would be useful.
Thx
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Permit the usage of external auth setup by a sso manager like authelia or lemonldapng
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Not afaik

I likely wouldn't look to add additional auth mechanisms at this point, as we already support a wide variety and auth systems have a relatively high cost.
If you need just plain basic auth, you can often add this at the webserver/proxy level.
Otherwise, you might be able to achieve other options using our logical theme system.
I have an example of authenticating by HTTP header here:

That may be tweakable to your requirements.

Since I wouldn't look to specifically support the requested auth method, and since some alternatives have been posted above, with no further follow up, I'll go ahead and close this off.
