Cannot successfully pass the SSO authentication `user_attr` option

Hey everyone,

Hoping someone can shed some light onto why I cannot successfully implement an SSO authentication through a fresh baremetal or Docker image deployment. In either deployments, I cannot successfully pass my user_attr to the librenms instance, even if I manually hardcode the variable with either of the Nginx directives add_header and or proxy_set_header.

Error Message:

Auth Error (sso): No user () [] from 192.168.25.5

LibreNMS validate.php Output:
$ sudo docker compose -f compose.yaml exec --user librenms librenms php validate.php (ignoring the known issue with fping6, as IPv6 is disabled in my network)

  }
}

Based on the logic of the SSOAuthorizer.php I removed all the dashes and underscores from my header variables and made everything uppercase.

...
            $header_key = $prefix . str_replace('-', '_', strtoupper($attr));

            if (Config::get('sso.mode') === 'header' && array_key_exists($header_key, $_SERVER)) {
                return $_SERVER[$header_key];
...

I am assuming that others got SSO to work for them, and I am probably just overlooking something. Does anyone have any pointers to where the issue might be? Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you happen to get this working?
