[ckan-dev] ckanext-security in CKAN 2.7.2

Tue Oct 10 08:33:13 UTC 2017

 Dear all

I am testing ckanext-security (https://github.com/data-govt-nz/ckanext-security) with my local CKAN 2.7.2 development instance.

I have two issues, first the "X-Forwarded-For header" is missing from the request, even if the Nginx config looks ok:

[...]
   location / {
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
[...]

Second and more critical, even if I "bypass" the previous error, I cannot log in with any user. Password reset seems to work fine but I get always the "Login failed. Bad username or password" error. I am trying to troubleshoot this but there is no failure message, I pasted below a piece of the log output. The only hint I see is the "INFO  [repoze.who] no identities found, not authenticating". 

If anyone has an idea of what's going on I would be grateful for any advice.

Best,
Lucia
