Nginx is a trendy web server. Google it if you want to learn about it. Using AUTH_REMOTE_USER is somewhat documented in the Flask App Builder docs. "Remote user" authentication means you have a reverse proxy taking care of the authentication and enriching web requests with headers related to who is logged in.
