Background :
I am trying to configure cloudflare flexible SSL with django.
Browser <-HTTPS-> Cloudflare <-HTTP-> Nginx <--> Gunicorn
Issue :
I am getting CSRF verification failed. Request aborted for admin panel login - For now this is the only POST request on my website. (belive me, I have skimmed through tons of posts here and on gist but nothing seems to be working for me :( )
Configurations :
Nginx -
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.31.4.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 104.16.0.0/12;
set_real_ip_from 108.162.192.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 131.0.72.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 162.158.0.0/15;
set_real_ip_from 172.64.0.0/13;
set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 188.114.96.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 190.93.240.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 197.234.240.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 198.41.128.0/17;
set_real_ip_from 199.27.128.0/21;
set_real_ip_from 2400:cb00::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2606:4700::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2803:f800::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:b500::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:8100::/32;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
location / {
proxy_pass http://unix:/var/webapps/run/SBWebsite.sock;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
Django - settings.py
DEBUG = False
PREPEND_WWW = True
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTOCOL', 'https')
Cloudflare DNS -
A domain.com points to <ip> Automatic
CNAME www is an alias of domain.com Automatic
Page rule is set to always use HTTPS
Update #1
Everything works fine from Chrome Incognito mode !
Update #2 (Solution)
Seems like it was cookie issue, I cleared all cookies from my browser and now its working fine!!
Partly it could also be SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER issue as it was wrong in my settings.py
I was getting the same error in a comparable setup without Cloudflare: Nginx -> Gunicorn -> Django.
I fixed it by changing this Nginx setting:
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
To this:
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
So that the scheme is not hard-coded, but instead derived from the request.
It seems you have made a mistake while naming http-header. You have to ensure that the name of the X-Forwarded-Proto header is correct in both: nginx configuration and Django 's settings.py.
So you should modify your settings.py file by replacing the line:
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTOCOL', 'https')
with this one:
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
Or you can add to nginx configuration file the line below:
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol https;
