Hi, I'm having trouble getting the Ory proxy to work with Ory cloud. I've followed the instructions https://www.ory.sh/docs/start-building/server-side-web-app/ and the proxy is not injecting the JWT into the headers when debugging the Express App. I've tried setting the SDK URL explicitly and as an environment variable:

ory proxy --sdk-url=<https://romantic-bhaskara-tctyd7320b.projects.oryapis.com> --port 4000 <http://localhost:8000/>

When I navigate to localhost:4000 and login it keeps redirecting me back and I can't view the protected page. Debugging the node app shows the session cookie is there but not the expected JWT token. Please advise, as I feel like I'm going round in circles. I'm on windows and I installed ORY CLI with scoop. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the report Jacob, I will see if I can replicate the issue.

I wasn't able to reproduce it

Thanks for responding so quickly. I have tried restarting a few times. How do I get the version of the proxy?

Yeah that looks alright 🙂 So you're saying that after the user logs in the browser redirects back to the node application "dashboard" and when clicking on

/protected

it takes you back to the dashboard?

yes exactly

which browser are you using? and have you tried clearing cookies / running in incognito mode?

I have tried different browsers and clearing cookies

here are my cookies 🍪

Looks similar to mine. Is there any config in the cloud I'm missing? Is there something I need to do with the Personal Access Token? The instructions say to generate one but doesn't say what to do with it?

No you don't need any special configuration in the cloud, as for the Personal Access Token, in this instance it's not needed. Only when preforming admin api tasks

That's what I thought. Is there a verbose logging mode for the proxy so we can see what it's doing?

maybe this is a windows specific problem with the proxy. I'll have to quickly test it on windows to confirm this. No there is no verbose mode on the cli currently, however, everything is logged in the browser (such as network requests and redirects).

Thanks for that. I can see the network requests but would perhaps be useful to see what the proxy was doing, whether it had found the session cookie and had created the JWT.

You still stuck here Jacob? I can do tests later today on a windows machine.

Kind of - in the end I gave up Ory cloud and just started using it locally through docker which works nicely. Is better as I get more of an understanding of how it works. Still would suggest you investigate and would be interested to know whether you reproduced it.

Definitely, will fire up the ol’ Win10 in the afternoon 🤓

This is probably to do with the proxy code itself and how it interacts with windows. We will have to open a bug report for further investigation.
