# Frequently asked questions

## How can the backend be aware of the authenticated users?

This question is solved
[here](https://www.authelia.com/docs/deployment/supported-proxies/#how-can-the-backend-be-aware-of-the-authenticated-users).

## Why only use a private issuer key and no public key with OIDC?

The reason for using only the private key here is that one is able to calculate the public key easily from the private
key (`openssl rsa -in rsa.key -pubout > rsa.pem`).
