Thanks for your suggestion, @atripp, that's definitely something we'll look into when we find time to do so. In the meantime we have implemented the workaround described above, so thanks again for your help.

Thanks for you reply, @Dan_Woolf. We have already tried a similar solution to the one you proposed after my last post while waiting for a reply and could indeed get it working by changing the cookie domain in an outbound rewrite rule. It feels a bit hacky, however ...

Out of interest we were wondering why ProGet is setting a domain in the first place, as our own .NET 6 application using cookie authentication does not do so. As far as we understood it, setting a domain is only necessary if a cookie set by a subdomain should be available to its siblings. Is this necessary for ProGet's Replication feature?

Thanks for you answer, @atripp.

ProGet is using the Integrated web server:

As reverse proxy we are using IIS on the same server. It is already configured to set the following headers for every request:

This server also acts as a reverse proxy for other URLs, the configurations for each site are basically identical. I can confirm that the other applications receive the added headers, including X-Forwarded-Host. But just to make sure it is really working I enabled Request Tracing for proget.example.com, here is an excerpt from the relevant file (let me know should you need the whole content):

As you can see, the header X-FORWARDED-HOST is indeed getting set to proget.example.com.

How would you recommend to troubleshoot this further? Are there options to enable logging inside ProGet to get any insights?

a.diessl

I just upgraded our local ProGet installation to version 22.0.2 (from 6.0.10) and I noticed that we are not able to login anymore. After trying out a few things I found the reason for this.

The URL where ProGet is running is http://proget.intranet:8624/, we are using a reverse proxy server to access it, however, its URL is https://proget.example.com/. Logging in via the former URL works, via the latter does not anymore (it used to work in version 6.0.10).

The reason for this is that the response to the login request to URL https://proget.example.com/log-in?ReturnUrl=%2Fprojects includes the following response header:

set-cookie: .AHWEBAUTH=6ab8eee0a01c3e187646085cb470d8b53bf4c27aff6a00440f70fd38f777cba956a24acd42066c4064121171d7617ecd1ef595239c8ee089f729b8f88ebbf98b; domain=proget.intranet; path=/; httponly

This sets a cookie in the browser for the wrong domain, therefore the login does not work when using a reverse proxy server.

The setting Web.BaseUrl under Administration → Advanced Settings is set to https://proget.example.com/, by the way.

So the question is: is this a bug or do we have to configure additional settings with ProGet version 2022?
