* user-id-header-name | string

  Configures the name of the header whose value represents the user identity, for the created
  `RequestAuthentication`s to pass the respective JWT claim representing the user identity to
  downstream applications as such a header.

  Any argument that can be used as value for the `header` key in `outputClaimToHeaders` of
  `RequestAuthentication` — that is any valid HTTP header field name — is acceptable:
  https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/request\_authentication/#JWTRule-output\_claim\_to\_headers

  This option is required and has no default. The charm will be in a blocked state until it is
  set to a valid HTTP header field name.
