Basic authentication process (through reverse proxy)

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version: 3.1.x
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04

Expected behavior:

  • Automatically logging in a technical user via local NGINX proxy to show the dashboard on a Monitor (no mouse / keyboard accessible)

Actual behavior:

  • Basic Authentication header passed, but get redirected to Login page

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Access Zammad through nginx proxy like the following example:
    location / {
    proxy_set_header Authorization “Basic [base64encoded-removed]”;
    proxy_set_header Host [host-removed];
    proxy_pass https://[host-removed];
    }

As described, I am trying to automatically login via Basic Authentication. Header is set, but if I access the NGINX RP, I get redirected to login page (/#login). I do not know how to resolve this. Do I need to call a specific URL? I also tried POSTing to /api/v1/signing but then I get errors that the csrf-token is missing.
Any Ideas?

I saw the other forum post that this should be possible: HTTP basic authentication Is that possible?
But I seem to not get it to work.

Thanks for any help on this topic.
