Problem
Custom frontend → Odoo 17 dashboard redirects back to login despite valid credentials.Stack
- React frontend
- Express.js backend
- Odoo 17 Community
- XML-RPC auth
What We Tried
- Direct URL redirect → ❌ Login page
- CSRF + form submission → ❌ CORS errors
- Backend session establishment → ❌ 400 Bad Request
- URL auto-login params → ❌ Still login page
Questions
- How to establish browser session with Odoo 17 from external frontend?
- Handle CORS for direct Odoo requests?
- Alternative auth methods for Odoo 17?
- Pass session cookies backend→browser?
Current
Considering proxy pattern but seems overkill for auto-login.Help needed! 🙏
