Remote Authentication Broken?

I have tried to log into several Hubzilla servers using Remote Authentication and it results in a blank screen. Is remote authentication broken?

@Scott M. Stolz Regardless of stack used, it could be easier to determine the cause with a bit better error handling and logging. There's nothing that would inherently make this not work in any of the above stacks, but I can imagine that straight CGI may not forward all the headers, and that this could be the cause of this. But until we know for sure, it's just speculation anyways :)

@Harald Eilertsen These are the only issues I am seeing in the logs.

PHP Deprecated: preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($pattern) of type string is deprecated in /redacted/extend/addon/hzaddons/hilite/Text_Highlighter/Text/Highlighter.php on line 260

PHP Warning: Version warning: Imagick was compiled against ImageMagick version 1692 but version 1693 is loaded. Imagick will run but may behave surprisingly in Unknown on line 0

Is there anywhere else I need to check? I can do some testing with a test installation. But I would need to know what to look for.

@Scott M. Stolz Currently I don't think you will get any useful logs, as the owa endpoint just silently skips all processing and returns the informative json payload {"success": false}.

I just now submitted a PR that will at least return a reason with the json message sent back to the client trying to authenticate. You should be able to see it on that end by enabling debug logging and the LOG_DATA setting in the admin settings. We should probably log something on the authenticating side too, but one step at the time.
