Login page displaying

[AciDCooL 7]

Hello Everyone,

 

Since aprox last week I experience a wierd problem. I started to notice that I needed to login after every browser refresh.

The site https://xxxx/emby/web/login.html is getting diplayed, but the fun part is im still logged in because I can click the little home icon in the top left corner. Then I get redirected to https://xxx/web/home.html. 

 

Smart me though hey let's give it a try and use https://xxx/emby/web/home.html as my bookmark. But even that one goes to login page with the home icon on the top left. Is this intended behaviour? Because I remember being logged in and staying logged in for at least a week before a login page would pop up.

 

I attached the logs, think I reloaded the page 3 or 4 times in quick succession, and every time I got the login page.

Do you have a plug-in or setting in your browser that is clearing browsing data or cookies?

I see the same using external connections, local connections do not behave like this.  There are a couple topics on this also.

...if I read what you said correctly, you get sent back to login, I get sent back to login and then straight through to dashboard home page.

This issue is specific to connection type.

 

I get sent to login screen on Remote/External connections on a browser Refresh, Local/LAN connections Refreshes work fine.

I just used Internet Explorer, and thats clean as can be since I never have used it on my 2016 machine. And I can reproduce the problem every refresh. So its not a plugin on chrome (version 61 btw) But its not like I get logged out, like said the home button is there and when I click it I get to the homepage.

 

I'm using Emby on Fedora linux behind a reverse proxy nginx and sublink /emby.

 

Trying to fix it I thought I could change php.ini, but php cookies have no influence since it's a webapp dohhhh...

Thanks I will reissue my certificate tomorrow and make a subdomain, but strange thing is it has worked for weeks. And there was a reason that I went to sublink but it's late and cant think straight after a 15 hour workday   Gotta love Citrix and their bugs this is nothing compared hehe

You don't have to use a subdomain, if you want to remain using /emby just edit your config like this: 

You just need to strip the /emby from making its way to the emby server...  I think they are making some software changes that is doing away with the /emby   I bet its hard for them to maintain that fix anyway.. Plus this makes for neater reverse proxy setup IMO

Let us know how you made out.

location /emby/ {                                          #note the backslash after emby
                rewrite ^/emby(/.*)$ $1 break;             #this will strip /emby from the requests going into emby backend

You are a god, this works like a charm saves the hassle for the reissue.

Just a quick question, why the trailing / on /emby/ ?

Just a quick question, why the trailing / on /emby/ ?

 

We add the trailing slash to the original url because regex is going to eat the slash when it strips /emby off.   I mean I guess we could have written that differently as not to need the trailing slash but it's how i've always done it lol..        

 

So you start out with /emby/      which equals,   127.0.0.1:8096/emby/otherstuff/   to your backend server, otherwise without the trailing slash the backend would see  127.0.0.1:8096/emby/otherstuff       which is fine normally, but we are now using regex to do "stuff"    ^/emby(/.*)$ $1   so in that regex  ^ is the beginning of a string and $ is the end, within that string after /emby we want to match the / and anything after it   (/.*) and put that into a variable $1 (otherstuff)  ignoring, or leaving behind /emby, so the end result of that regex is 127.0.0.1:8096/otherstuff   (it just ate the /emby and pasted the rest on the end)  If we didn't have the trailing slash we couldn't pluck out the stuff after /emby as easily, and your server would see 127.0.0.1:8096otherstuff

 

lol  I had to read over that like 5 times, I wrote it wrong that many times lol  I guess i'm a bit tired too!

Makes allot of sense now, thanks for the thorough explanation. Think I gonna check my other reverse proxy rules, see if I can polish them a bit with this information.
