Customized header for authentication

[bennyz327]

What do you want to be added?

I know we're not accepting new feature requests right now, but I'd like to know if there's any chance of implementing this feature in the future.

TL;TD
Can I add a customized header to the Source Server request?

Additional context

Right now, in the Navidrome Server Source option, only Navidrome's own authentication message (username+password) can be set.

However, when there is a need for a public connection, a common and consistent solution is usually used, some people use Authentik or Authelia

I chose Cloudflare Tunnels with Service tokens (https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/identity/service-tokens/), Service tokens is good for The advantage of Service tokens for 3rd party service access is that I only need to carry 2 header tokens in the external request, but this requires the application to provide customizable headers and content.

Is this possible in the future?

I searched for similar requests in the past
#569
#16

Is this a server-specific feature? (e.g. Jellyfin only)

Unlikely for me to add unfortunately, since that would require UI changes for somewhat of a niche problem.

This is probably the perfect use case to fork and modify Feishin yourself to create a custom build.

You could add the headers yourself under the ndApiClient (or use the axios interceptors).

	const result = await axiosClient.request({
	data: body,
	headers: {
	...headers,
	...(token && { 'x-nd-authorization': `Bearer ${token}` }),
	},
	method: method as Method,
	params,
	signal,
	url: `${baseUrl}/${api}`,
	});
