 ### Creating proxy auth based provider
 
 A proxy auth provider is a provider that uses another provider to authenticate for example Google IAP or AWS ALB, please note that those providers are already supported by Backstage.

 If this provider is internal to your installation the import path that you add to `packages/backend/src/index.ts` would be something like:
 
 ```ts
-backend.add(
-  import('@internal/plugin-auth-backend-module-providername-provider'),
-);
+backend.add(import('@internal/plugin-auth-backend-module-foobar-provider'));

-);
+backend.add(import('@backstage/plugin-auth-backend-module-foobar-provider'));
