+## Summary
+
+- [**Description**](#description)
+- [**Attributes**](#attributes)
+- [**Example**](#example)
+
+## Description
+
+The `forward-auth` plugin implement a classic external authentication model. We can implement a custom error return or user redirection to the authentication page if the authentication fails.
+
+Forward Auth cleverly moves the authentication and authorization logic to a dedicated external service, where the gateway forwards the user's request to the authentication service and blocks the original request and replaces the result when the authentication service responds with a non-20x status.
+
+## Attributes
+
+| Name | Type | Requirement | Default | Valid | Description |
+| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
+| host | string | required |  |  | Authorization service host (eg. https://localhost:9188) |
+| ssl_verify | boolean | optional | true |   | Whether to verify the certificate |
+| request_headers | array[string] | optional |  |  | `client` request header that will be sent to the `authorization` service |
+| upstream_headers | array[string] | optional |  |  | `authorization` service response header that will be sent to the `upstream` |
+| client_headers | array[string] | optional |  |  | `authorization` response header that will be sent to the `client` when authorize failure |
+| timeout | integer | optional | 3000ms | [1, 60000]ms | Authorization service HTTP call timeout |
+| keepalive | boolean | optional | true |  | HTTP keepalive |
+| keepalive_timeout | integer | optional | 60000ms | [1000, ...]ms | keepalive idle timeout |
+| keepalive_pool | integer | optional | 5 | [1, ...]ms | Connection pool limit |
+
+## Example
+
+First, you need to setup an external authorization service. Here is an example of using Apache APISIX's serverless plugin to mock.
+
+```shell
+$ curl -X PUT 'http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/auth' \
+    -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' \
+    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    -d '{
+    "uri": "/auth",
+    "plugins": {
+        "serverless-pre-function": {
+            "phase": "rewrite",
+            "functions": [
+                "return function (conf, ctx) local core = require(\"apisix.core\"); local authorization = core.request.header(ctx, \"Authorization\"); if authorization == \"123\" then core.response.exit(200); elseif authorization == \"321\" then core.response.set_header(\"X-User-ID\", \"i-am-user\"); core.response.exit(200); else core.response.set_header(\"Location\", \"http://example.com/auth\"); core.response.exit(403); end end"
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "upstream": {
+        "nodes": {},
+        "scheme": "https",
+        "type": "roundrobin"
+    }
+}'
+```
+
+Next, we create a route for testing.
+
+```shell
+$ curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1
+    -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1'
+    -d '{
+    "uri": "/headers",
+    "plugins": {
+        "forward-auth": {
+            "host": "http://127.0.0.1:9080/auth",
+            "request_headers": ["Authorization"],
+            "upstream_headers": ["X-User-ID"],
+            "client_headers": ["Location"]
+        }
+    },
+    "upstream": {
+        "nodes": {
+            "httpbin.org:80": 1
+        },
+        "type": "roundrobin"
+    }
+}'
+```
+
+We can perform the following three tests.
+
+1. **request_headers** Send Authorization header from `client` to `authorization` service
+
+```shell
+$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/headers -H 'Authorization: 123'
+{
+    "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "123",
+        "Next": "More-headers"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+2. **upstream_headers** Send `authorization` service response header to the `upstream`
+
+```shell
+$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/headers -H 'Authorization: 321'
+{
+    "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "321",
+        "X-User-ID": "i-am-user",
+        "Next": "More-headers"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+3. **client_headers** Send `authorization` service response header to `client` when authorize failure
+
+```shell
+$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/headers
+HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
+Location: http://example.com/auth
+```
+
+Finally, you can disable the `forward-auth` plugin by removing it from the route.
