-## Configuration Options
-
-### `address`
-
-The `address` option defines the authentication server address.
-
-### `trustForwardHeader`
-
-Set the `trustForwardHeader` option to `true` to trust all the existing `X-Forwarded-*` headers.
-
 ### `authResponseHeaders`
 
 The `authResponseHeaders` option is the list of the headers to copy from the authentication server to the request.
