I’m experiencing an authentication error when submitting an Enketo form (from KoboToolbox) embedded in an iframe using API v2. Here are the details:
Problem:
When submitting an Enketo form embedded in an iframe using API v2, I receive an authentication error from the Enketo server, despite including authentication in the header.
URL received from generating URL for iframe using api:
The iframe generates fine and populates the submission but when I click submit I get an authentication error: https://ee.xxxxxxxxx.org/submission/9UsEKDGp 401 (Unauthorized)
connection.js:147
The expectation was that the admin login sent to generate the url would remain in the session so that the submission would be authorized?
Environment:
- API Version: v2
- Implementation: Form embedded in iframe
- Browser: MS Edge
- Enketo/KoboToolbox Version: V2
Error Message: [Include the exact error message you’re receiving]
What I’ve Tried:
- Verified the authentication header is correctly formatted.
- Tested API v2, which works fine on another instance. The only difference between the working instance and the non-working is that the non-working is running the upgraded version of kobotoolbox and possibly is not configured the same as the working version
- Checked for potential CORS issues.
Questions:
- Are there known issues with API v2 authentication in iframes?
- Are there specific configuration requirements for API v2 that differ from v1?
- Could this be related to CORS or iframe security restrictions?
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
