Session expired at login

Hi everyone, I installed VaultWarden last week using Docker, and I have a proxy handling the https part, but everytime I try to connect to a vault, I receive a “Session expired” message. It happened on the web gui, the Bitwarden desktop and android apps.

Here are the logs from Docker each time I try to connect :

And here is my VaultWarden config :

Please let me know if you have an idea.

Best regards

Looks like something is either blocking or removing the authentication header.
Maybe a reverse proxy issue, or your web browser is using some extensions or something which removes.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

My proxy was not authorizing client direct authentication. After enabling it, login works fine.

Thanks a lot !

PS : How do I mark this subject as solved ?
