Confirmation
I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.
Expected Behavior
When switching users using trusted header authentication (i.e. the Trusted Headers change to another user), open webui should immediately switch to that user.
Actual Behavior
When switching users using trusted header authentication (i.e. the Trusted Headers change to another user), Open Webui stays in the old user until I logout through the Webui interface.
Steps to Reproduce
Setup Open Webui behind Authelia+Traefik proxy.
Configure Trusted header configuration with WEBUI_AUTH_TRUSTED_EMAIL_HEADER and WEBUI_AUTH_TRUSTED_NAME_HEADER.
Login with User A through Authelia.
Open Webui such that it logs in with User A automatically
Logout from User A throgh Authelia and login with User B
Open Webui. Now we are still logged in with User A.
