Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/computer/issues/166

I am unable to setup trusted header auth with computer. Already running fine with Open WebU, Authelia and Traefik.

After doing the initial setup, I modify config.toml with the following.

[auth]
mode = "trusted_header"
header = "Remote-User"
trusted_sources = ["172.16.2.2"]

The endpoint /api/auth always returns {"authenticated":false}.

Reviewing the code, I believe check_access needs to send remote_user_header github.com/open-webui/computer@3b0e0f8dc3/cptr/routers/auth.py (L57)

Though if that's added in then the following is returned AuthResult(user_id=None, username='<redacted>', role='user', exp=0) and it never enters the next block because user_id is None.

github.com/open-webui/computer@3b0e0f8dc3/cptr/routers/auth.py (L59)

Not sure what the correct fix is but that is my investigation so far.

🟣 #77 Openweb UI implementation not working properly
This reports OpenWebUI integration behaving incorrectly even though the official web UI works, which is the same general auth/integration surface as trusted header login problems in cptr.
by thgilciffart
🟣 #50 Gateway connection hangs in OpenWebUI
This issue is about cptr/OpenWebUI gateway behavior and shows that integration-specific behavior can fail even when the standalone cptr app works, making it adjacent to auth flow issues in the computer component.
