I run registry and cesanta/docker_auth in a single pod. Registry listens on port 5004, docker_auth - on port 5005. Ports are bublished with same numbers. Access to registry is preformed through apachei2 proxy which runs on the same system. Access to docker_auth service is performed directly to port 5005 using unencrypted http protocol. Authentication in registry is configured as follows: auth: token: realm: http://regtest-auth.intern.local:5005/auth service: regtest-auth.intern.local issuer: "ACME auth server - aa8AhshuoCh5eade" rootcertbundle: /certs/sign-ca.pem Corresponding part on docker auth is configured as follows: server: addr: ":5005" token: issuer: "ACME auth server - aa8AhshuoCh5eade" expiration: 900 certificate: "/config/sign-ca.pem" key: "/config/ra-private.pem" I run podman login to test authenticationnas follows: island:podman [v4.7]> strace -f -o /tmp/podman.trace -s 16384 ./bin/podman --log-level debug login regtest.intern.local INFO[0000] ./bin/podman filtering at log level debug DEBU[0000] Called login.PersistentPreRunE(./bin/podman --log-level debug login regtest.intern.local) DEBU[0000] Using conmon: "/usr/bin/conmon" DEBU[0000] Initializing boltdb state at /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/libpod/bolt_state.db DEBU[0000] Using graph driver vfs DEBU[0000] Using graph root /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage DEBU[0000] Using run root /run/user/1007/containers DEBU[0000] Using static dir /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/libpod DEBU[0000] Using tmp dir /run/user/1007/libpod/tmp DEBU[0000] Using volume path /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes DEBU[0000] Using transient store: false DEBU[0000] [graphdriver] trying provided driver "vfs" DEBU[0000] Initializing event backend file DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime runj initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime runj: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime youki initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime youki: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime runsc initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime runsc: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime krun initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime krun: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime ocijail initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime ocijail: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime crun-wasm initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime crun-wasm: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime runc initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime runc: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Configured OCI runtime kata initialization failed: no valid executable found for OCI runtime kata: invalid argument DEBU[0000] Using OCI runtime "/usr/bin/crun" INFO[0000] Setting parallel job count to 25 DEBU[0000] Loading registries configuration "/home/ivans/.config/containers/registries.conf" DEBU[0000] No credentials matching regtest.intern.local found in /run/user/1007/containers/auth.json DEBU[0000] No credentials matching regtest.intern.local found in /home/ivans/.config/containers/auth.json DEBU[0000] No credentials matching regtest.intern.local found in /home/ivans/.docker/config.json DEBU[0000] No credentials matching regtest.intern.local found in /home/ivans/.dockercfg DEBU[0000] No credentials for regtest.intern.local found Username: ivans Password: DEBU[0028] Looking for TLS certificates and private keys in /etc/docker/certs.d/regtest.intern.local DEBU[0028] GET https://regtest.intern.local/v2/ DEBU[0028] Ping https://regtest.intern.local/v2/ status 401 DEBU[0028] GET https://regtest.intern.local/v2/ PARSE HEADER [[Bearer realm="http://regtest-auth.intern.local:5005/auth",service="regtest-auth.intern.local"]] VALUE: [bearer], PARAMETER: [0xc00052c3f0] CHALLENGES: [[[1/1]0xc000a861f8]] bearer [realm] => [http://regtest-auth.intern.local:5005/auth] [service] => [regtest-auth.intern.local] DEBU[0029] error logging into "regtest.intern.local": unable to retrieve auth token: invalid username/password: unauthorized Error: logging into "regtest.intern.local": invalid username/password DEBU[0029] Shutting down engines I have added some test messages to podman to verify that it receives WWW-Authenticate header with correct parameters. I also captured the traffic to registry and docker_auth with following command: tcpdump -ni any port 5005 or port 5004 -s 0 -w /tmp/auth.dump Capture shows only one HTTP exchange: GET /v2/ HTTP/1.1 Host: regtest.intern.local User-Agent: containers/5.28.0 (github.com/containers/image) Authorization: Basic aXZhbnM6TGVuYSMyMDc0 Docker-Distribution-Api-Version: registry/2.0 Accept-Encoding: gzip X-Forwarded-Proto: https X-Forwarded-For: 10.255.225.67 X-Forwarded-Host: regtest.intern.local X-Forwarded-Server: regtest.intern.local Connection: Keep-Alive HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Docker-Distribution-Api-Version: registry/2.0 Www-Authenticate: Bearer realm="http://regtest-auth.intern.local:5005/auth",service="regtest-auth.intern.local" Date: Wed, 06 Dec 2023 20:13:36 GMT Content-Length: 87 {"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"authentication required","detail":null}]} As far as I understand podman should try to connect to url specified by realm in WWW-Authenicate header and request a token from it. But as I see form capture no such attempt is detected. I also verified this in strace output, the only tcp connect attempts reported are following: 1 2624033 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.194.99.71")}, 16 <unfinished ...> 2 2624033 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.194.99.42")}, 16 <unfinished ...> 3 2624042 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.194.99.71")}, 16 <unfinished ...> 4 2624042 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("10.194.99.42")}, 16 <unfinished ...> (port 53 is evidently name resolver) I tried this with podman from os (4.7.2, debian unstable) and podman build from v4.7 branch (version reported - 4.7.3-dev) with same results.

I'm trying to set up a token authentication for docker registry and using
podman login to test it. As per description podman should receive
'401 Unauthorized' error and headers in the reply should contain
'Www-Authenticate:' entry. As far as I understand, podman should then
automatically try to access url, specified in this entry to get the token.
But it just terminates with 401 error. I verified registry access with curl
and I see, that Www-Authenticate is present.

Should podman actually request the token automatically or do I misunderstand this?

I don’t know, please provide the full HTTP request/response dumps, and Podman’s --log-level=debug logs.

At the very least, note that the initial /v2/ “API presence check” request must fail with a 401, not just individual accesses to specific data.
