 * Hi,
 * We are trying to migrate from a JSP based site to WP. And like to evaluate if
   this plugin will help. We are new to WordPress, could somebody guide on the sample
   header/payload that we receive on the Http Server side ? And what the expected
   Successful and unsuccessful authentication response should look like.
 * Thanks..in advance.

 * Any server which sets the `REMOTE_USER` variable in the environment (or something
   else) can be used. Normally this is provided via Apache’s authentication modules.
 * [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authn_core.html](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authn_core.html)
 * Because of the various authentication schemes available, I can’t provide much
   guidance on what a successful or unsuccessful authentication response would look
   like. Instead try reading up on HTTP basic authentication for an example:
