SSO Header with Docker

Technical assistance
1

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version: 6.3.1
  • Used Zammad installation type: docker compose
  • Operating system: Debian
  • Browser + version: Edge

Expected behavior:

zammad-nginx respects config file changes so that the soo header edits can persist.

I have added a volume to store the nginx config on the host so that it will persist between container restarts.

Actual behavior:

When the docker container is restarted the zammad-nginx command overwrites the config file with the original, removing the required edits for SSO.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. mount a volume to zammad-nginx for your config.
  2. edit the config in any way.
  3. restart the container.

I’ve been able to work around this with a bit of a bodge.

I’ve mounted /opt/zammad/contrib/nginx to a folder on the host that contains the edited zammad.conf which is then used by the script to generate teh config for nginx.

A bit of a round about way of doing it. I’d suggest the docker container needs to have a environment variable added so we can set the header name that contains the remote user for SSO.
