is there a way to debug oathkeeper’s authenticator checks? for some reason it appears my check is not working in production so it is falling down to the noop (which i include only for non-auth’d requests), but it’s difficult to debug exactly why as it works in local environments

You mean to check access rule evaluation?

in this case i’m using the bearer_token authenticator, and that validation call seems to be failing though i can’t seem to figure out why, i would like it to actually log the reason why it failed (e.g. “timeout”, “response status 400", whatever) so i know what happened, as right now it’s just moving to the next step without giving any useful information

😕 Debugging is one of those topics currently parked for oathkeeper next gen. Did you set the log level etc. to trace/debug already?

yes, it doesn’t really give me any more details about exactly what’s happening as it executes the authenticators though

it's maybe the host header

meaning it isn’t matching that authenticator at all so it is just skipping it completely? that’s possible
