Issues with Proxy Authentication in StackStorm: Token Retrieval and User Setup

[rameessahlu]

I’ve set up a proxy in the StackStorm configuration for authentication. When I try to retrieve a cookie, I need to pass credentials. However, when I pass the credentials, I’m not getting the token for the REMOTE_USER but for the admin instead. Could someone please explain the steps to enable proxy authentication? Do I need to create the user in StackStorm as well if I’m using proxy authentication and handling authentication through an auth service in front of StackStorm?

I was able to find what I was looking for by myself. I wasn’t passing the right headers:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "x-forwarded-user: " -H 'remote_addr: ' http://st2auth.svc.cluster.local:9100/tokens
