Error 403 forbidden after login with default username and password

[SuperDarius-git]

Good day

I am trying to login and start using my wger Docker installation, but if I login with credentials username: admin password: adminadmin, it gives me the following error:

`Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.`

I have no idea what that means.

The following comes with the error when DEBUG is equal to TRUE:

`Help

Reason given for failure:

    Origin checking failed - https://fit.super.org.za does not match any trusted origins.

In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when [Django’s CSRF mechanism](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/csrf/) has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure:

    Your browser is accepting cookies.
    The view function passes a request to the template’s [render](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#django.template.backends.base.Template.render) method.
    In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
    If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
    The form has a valid CSRF token. After logging in in another browser tab or hitting the back button after a login, you may need to reload the page with the form, because the token is rotated after a login.

You’re seeing the help section of this page because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and only the initial error message will be displayed.

You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting.`

Hi!

This was introduced with the update to django 4.0 (https://github.com/wger-project/wger/issues/1203) and unfortunately we can't automatically avoid this. The good news is that this is only a single config change, just add to the env file CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS=https://fit.super.org.za and any other domains and IPs, etc under which the application should be reached (there's a bit more info in the readme now)

[AeliusSaionji]

Unfortunately I'm running into this issue as well, simply for having changed the http port from 80. I run many services on my machine by which I only access through secure vpn, so I do not desire https nor reverse proxy.

It is most convenient when docker images don't assume to be externally accessed from port 80. In the docker compose, normally I expect that changing "80:80" to "<available-port>:80" won't cause issues. Wger is far from the first to misbehave when I do this, though :)

I tried following the instructions in the readme, but since I am not running a reverse proxy, they do not work for me.

[rolandgeider]

sadly there isn't much we can do. You say that adding your IP/port, etc to the setting doesn't work? You can also change the debug setting to true, then it will show you which origin it has problems with (I also think this is whown in the logs as well, but I'm not completely sure)
