PGAdmin with Postgres backend and web auth - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Hi list, I’m trying to setup two versions of PGAdmin, 6.12 and latest, using dockerhub images running on RH9.  I’m fronting this with HTTPD as a reverse proxy and authentication layer. 

Here’s the commandline I’m using to run both versions:

/usr/bin/podman run \

        -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=$MYEMAIL \

        -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=$PASSWORD" \

        -e "PGADMIN_CONFIG_AUTHENTICATION_SOURCES=['webserver']" \

        -e PGADMIN_CONFIG_WEBSERVER_AUTO_CREATE_USER=True \

        -e PGADMIN_CONFIG_MASTER_PASSWORD_REQUIRED=False \

        -e "PGADMIN_CONFIG_CONFIG_DATABASE_URI='postgresql://$PGUSER:$PGPASS@$PGHOST:5432/$PGDB" \

        -e 'PGADMIN_CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL=10' \

        --conmon-pidfile %t/%n-pid  \

        --cidfile %t/%n-cid \

        --privileged  \

        -p 127.0.0.1:8081:80 \

        -v /var/lib/pgadmin/%N:/var/lib/pgadmin \

        --name %N \

        docker.io/dpage/pgadmin4:$VERSION

This works perfectly with 6.12.  I can connect with the web browser and go to PGAdmin, and I’m logged in as I expected to be. 

With latest I keep getting the messages “webserver authenticate failed” from PGAdmin, and I keep landing at the PGAdmin login screen despite having internal authentication disabled. 

I’m seeing these syslog messages:
Jul 17 15:06:11 pgadmin.na.lzb.hq pgadmin[452429]: 2024-07-17 19:06:11,292: DEBUG        pgadmin:        Authentication initiated via source: webserver

I thought maybe it wasn’t picking up the default email and password so I tried every combination I could think of for quoting default email and password, with no improvement.  The default email and password don’t work on the login screen and I never get into PGAdmin.   I can’t figure out why it works on the old version but not the new version.  I know I don’t need the mount on /var/lib/pgadmin with the database, that’s just there because I haven’t taken it out yet.  With the database config that directory is empty anyway.

Any ideas?
