OIDC or Local User Auth not passed to New_Dashboard

[Brandt Freidank]

After fresh install of Landscape 24.04 on Ubuntu 24.04 new authentication prompt produced after clicking Repositories link to navigate to new_dashboard page.

If local users are used the authentication works as expected but expect passthrough of login from initial page to new_dashboard page.

If OIDC authentication is configured in /etc/landscape/service.conf and Repositories link is clicked user is prompted for login which does accept OIDC credentials. Trying local account credential initially created during initial configuration on the second login prompt after clicking the repositories page does not work.

Expect configured authentication method in /etc/landscape/service.conf to pass through and be utilized throughout Landscape.

Fixed in 24.04.2+1 beta. Will update when released to stable.

There is a minor workaround right now:
  1. log in to the old dashboard
  2. go to /settings
  3. generate or regenerate your API credentials
  4. go back to /account/standalone

Then your session should carry over to the new_dashboard

This workaround or updating did non work for me:

I manually installed 24.04..

After some debugging I found that a "secret_token" was missing in my service.conf under [landscape]:

Adding
secret-token = [random 32 Byte char]

did the work.

I am not sure if is a second bug or connected....

The secret-token is generated by the landscape-server-quickstart package or by the landscape-server charm during installation.

If you did a manual installation, it may be missing. I think this is a probably a documentation gap that should be filled.
