Descrizione

When deploying a Keystone app to a staging environment hidden behind a reverse proxy (like Nginx or Caddy) with HTTP Basic Authentication, Admin UI access breaks (Access denied), even if the user logs in correctly and has a valid keystonejs-session cookie.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Setup a Keystone app using statelessSessions.
  2. Put the app behind a proxy that requires Basic Auth, passing the Authorization: Basic ... header down to the Node.js backend.
  3. Log in to the Admin UI successfully (the cookie is set in the browser).
  4. Refresh the page or try to access adminMeta.
  5. Result: Access denied because context.session becomes undefined.

Expected behaviour: Keystone should ignore Authorization: Basic ... headers and correctly fallback to parsing the keystonejs-session cookie.
