# Single Factor
|
|
|
|
**Authelia** supports single factor authentication to let applications
|
|
send authenticated requests to other applications.
|
|
|
|
Single or two-factor authentication can be configured per resource of an
|
|
application for flexibility.
|
|
|
|
For instance, you can configure Authelia to grant access to all resources
|
|
matching `app1.example.com/api/(.*)` with only a single factor and all
|
|
resources matching `app1.example.com/admin` with two factors.
|
|
|
|
To know more about the configuration of the feature, please visit the
|
|
documentation about the [configuration](../deployment/configuration.md).

## Proxy-Authorization header
|
|
|
|
Authelia reads credentials from the header `Proxy-Authorization` instead of
|
|
the usual `Authorization` header. This is because in some circumstances both Authelia
|
|
and the application could require authentication in order to provide specific
|
|
authorizations at the level of the application.
