Hi guys. I'm running Node-RED behind an authenticating reverse proxy (Traefik 2 with thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth Azure AD OIDC). Works perfectly fine for Node-RED (and everything else I run), but not for Dashboard 2. Initially I have no problems. I can open and use the Dashboard from my iPhone…

I have just looked at the code again in ui/src/main.mjs and in fact if it has not recovered after the scheduled retries then it does already reload the page, so there are not many places that it does now hang. @Fredrick are you absolutely certain that you are using the latest version of the dashboa…

A refresh doesn't seem to do anything, I'm still getting the same white screen. However, if I open a new tab and navigate to any Node-RED URL, switch BACK to the old Dashboard tab and THEN press refresh the Dashboard opens and reconnects.

I'll try removing and reinstalling and then test it again.

Have you tried looking at the developer console in Safari? Or using remote debugging to see the console when running on the phone, assuming you can do that on and apple like you can with Android.

So this is exactly the same workarounds that were required when we first saw this issue, and is linked to the PWA/SocketIO problems. Sorry to see you're hitting this problem, but hopefully we can find a "final" solution to sorting it out

@Colin not sure how to check the dev console on an iPhone. I think you can do it in Xcode but I've never tried. I've been playing around with this and gotten a bit further. I started by making sure that I was running the latest version by uninstalling and completely removing and then reinstalling …

Are you able to test it in an android phone? That will tell us if it an Apple issue or something in your node-red server setup, your authentication setup for example. When it is working in Safari what do you see when required to authenticate?

Sorry no, I haven't got any Android device. When required to authenticate I see the redirection to Azure AD for the token refresh (login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/...), the interactive authentication flow (usually not necessary since I'm already authenticated), and then the redirection back…

Is the url publicly accessible? If so would you be able to PM it to me and I will try it myself. I won't need to logon, just check that it redirects to the login page.

On second thoughts that won't work as I won't be able to setup the shortcut without logging on.

The only thing I can see is we set is this

"Content-Security-Policy", "frame-ancestors 'self' ${settings.forgeURL}"

But that's for the embedded editor iirc
