authentication failures with 4.3.1

[Che8o 1]

I get the following after upgrading when I try to login. Interestingly this is only from a browser (empty cache etc) and works fine with the app.

Any idea?

Hi.  Are you using any kind of reverse-proxy?  If so, please check configuration and make sure it isn't stripping out any of the post data sent by the apps.

Hmm what is influencing the x-Emby-authentication header? It turned out for some reason this was messed up from the webserver cache somehow (yes reverse proxy). I'm not sure what sets it though. is that from js or index.html?

[ebr 14910]

All the apps will be setting it. You need to be sure your proxy is allowing it.

I would suggest comparing your reverse proxy configuration to that of @@pir8radio.

I have a reverse proxy set up as well, and have a user who's been unable to log in via the Roku app but has no problems from an Android mobile or via the web. Not sure what the issue could possibly be.
