script-server

script-server copied to clipboard

When accessing the script server from iphone/safari every action I do, trying to execute a script, change to a new one, etc it asks to login again.

Why this happens?

I can offer a bounty to help this get fixed quickly!

Hi @Nottt are cookies enabled? That's the only issue i can think about

I am not sure, if they aren't then this is the default because I didn't change that stuff.

I tried private and non private tabs too

Could you check please?

I mean cookies option

As you can see, the option to block cookies is not enabled.

That's sad. Unfortunately, I don't have an iphone to debug it myself :( Could you try to edit src/utils/tornado_utils.py file, and modify get_secure_cookie method:

def get_secure_cookie(request_handler, key):
    value = request_handler.get_secure_cookie(key)

    import logging
    LOGGER = logging.getLogger('tornado_utils')
    LOGGER.info('secure cookie: ' + repr(value))
    LOGGER.info('raw cookie: ' + repr(request_handler.get_cookie(key)))

    if value is None:
        return None

    return value.decode('utf-8')

After that, please restart the server, try to do some requests from iphone, and check the server.log

Can you try this?

if the free trial is not enough, just let me know how much it costs. I use containers and stuff and I'm not sure how I would edit that stuff and keep it persistent after a docker restart

I'll try it. It will take some time, because I'm working today and also have to create a server with credentials :) But I'll do my best to solve it until Monday

Perhaps you can find someone you know that has an iphone and would let you test it?

I can try to do the change you did later, but like i said i really have no ideal how to debug this myself.

I also have tried using https / http and no success. I don't have cookies issues like that in other websites.

But I must say i proxy my scripts with cloudflare, and use basic nginx authentication

Hmm, this completely changes my understanding of the issue. Your users log in via a default browser login page, right, not the script server one? And script-server conf.json file has no auth section. In other words, they do not see the following form:

If this is correct, then it has nothing to do with a script server. Because script server asks for login only when auth is enabled. When users are identified based on a header, coming from a proxy, script server just reads the header

I see the login pop up, I can login and use the scripts normally, but every action I do, any click, anything, it triggers the login pop up again, so it's a hassle to use it

Hi @Nottt it seems to be a problem for other users (non script server too): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37169737/safari-ios-basic-authentication-dialog-on-every-page-load https://www.reddit.com/r/nginx/comments/6bd9jl/basic_auth_login_loop_nginx/ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8414341 https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,285874

(not the same, but similar): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52507245/nginx-proxy-pass-websocket-basic-authentication-safari-endless-loop-in

Since script server supports basic auth now on its own, may be you can try to use this one instead?

My conf.json only have this related

    "user_header_name": "X-Auth-Name",
    "trusted_ips": [
      "172.18.0.0/16"
    ],

And I was looking at the documentation I only see this:

Type of authentication provider. Supported types:

ldap (requires python ldap3 module)
google_oauth
gitlab
htpasswd

I don't want to use ldap oath or anything else, and htpasswd is what I am already using so I don't understand what you are saying

Hi @Nottt, currently you configure htpasswd via nginx. I suggest to configure it in script server instead. Because, apparently, ios safari has issues with basic auth in nginx

It is not working for me... this is my config.json

{
  "port": 5000,
  "address": "0.0.0.0",
  "title": "SCRIPTS",
  "access": {
    "allowed_users": [
      "admin"
    ],
    "admin_users": [
      "admin"
    ],
    "trusted_ips": [
      "172.18.0.0/16"
    ],
"auth": {
    "type": "htpasswd",
    "htpasswd_path": "/app/scripts/htpasswd"
},
    "logging": {
      "execution_file": "$DATE-$ID.log",
      "execution_date_format": "%y-%m-%d_%H-%M"
    }
  }
}

I have removed the auth part from nginx, and now when I try to access I don't see a login pop up, only 403 forbidden.

@Nottt looks good to me. Could you check server.log for any errors? Also, which server version are you using?

How to check the version?

I believe I am using the latest since I use my docker that auto updates on restart

@Nottt i missed it. You need to move auth section on a top level. Not inside access section

You are right! It's working now, both in pc and iphone.

Finally the only thing missing for a long time is fixed xD

thanks a lot!

Nice, happy to hear that! Sorry that i couldn't help with nginx, but I'm not an expert there

Do you have a bitcoin wallet for donations ?

No, I'm not into bitcoin, but thanks :)
