Bug ID: 23068
Summary: Add ability for Koha to handle X-Forwarded-For headers
so REMOTE_ADDR features work behind a proxy
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing
Assignee: koha-bugs at lists.koha-community.org
Reporter: kyle at bywatersolutions.com
QA Contact: testopia at bugs.koha-community.org
Target Milestone: ---
Koha has a number of features that rely on knowing the IP address of the
connecting client. If that server is behind a proxy these features do not work.
We can use Plack::Middleware::RealIP to automatically convert the
X-Forwarded-For header into the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable so no Koha
code need be modified.
A future enhancement could be to take advantage of the module's trusted_proxy
setting to allow Koha to use these feature even after going through *multiple*
proxies. This would require being able to read configuration from the
plack.psgi file and is beyond the scope of this enhancement.
