Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.6.5

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Debian 12

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Oauth SSO completes in a timely manner. It pulls profile images from the Oauth provider, using the proxy server specified in the environment.

Actual Behavior

Open WebUI attempts to connect directly to the profile picture provider, and that connection times out after a while. This causes unfortunate behavior in the UI that makes it look like the sign in failed, even though it kind of succeeded. Do this enough times, and eventually you will be signed in.

Steps to Reproduce

There are two calls to aiohttp.ClientSession() inside oauth.py what do not pass trust_env=True into the constructor. That causes the session to not respect the proxy settings in the environment, so if your server happens to be in an environment that requires a proxy to talk to the internet, the requests for profile pictures will time out. There are other constructor calls to for that class which also don't pass trust_env-True. I did not audit all of them to determine if those other calls also represent bugs.

We happen to use Microsoft SSO, but the bug doesn't appear to be Microsoft-specific and will likely occur any time you run behind a proxy server and use SSO.
