hi all
I am trying to configure the webauth proxmox backup server when I add the webauth registry
In the user management for the user I want, I get an error,

An error occurred during token registration.
SecurityError: The operation is insecure.

proxmox pve this error is fixed by setting the domain in the datacenter.cfg file but where do I set this in my pbs server.

Thanks to the proxmox development team for a great backup and virtualization environment, keep up the good work.
 
did you mean where you can set the webauthn options for pbs? if yes, this is in the web ui under Configuration -> Other
 
does the pbs have a valid certificate? which browser do you use?

I use a self-signed certificate because pbs is running
on the intranet and I can't use letsencrypt. I have configured a security exception in my browser, so the certificate should be fine. My understanding is that this should work as long as I remember to add the certificate to my trusted browser

i'm not completely sure what the rules are, i just remember that chrome is a lot stricter than firefox for example

which browser do you use? could you try chrome/firefox (whichever you don't normally use)

I use Firefox esr version 115. I tried with chromium and it complained invalid domain, with Firefox I get the error I described

what domain do you use to access your pbs and what is the webauthn config there?
 
I do NOT use the domain to connect the pbs but the machine's ip address.
that won't work in any browser for security reasons

EDIT: i just think so, i did not find any source for that, but i'm pretty sure i could not get it to work with an ip address in the past
does your certificate include the ip address ? does your browser show a security warning?

I use the default certificate that comes with the server installation, it contains the ip-
address but it would appear to be 127.0.01, ie
incorrect.
