Hi all!
I'm fairly new to server setup and frontend development and I'm not sure if this is the right place for my question. But maybe you guys can help me!
We have our own project website (React frontend + Python backend) and an INCEpTION instance. Now I link out from our webapp to INCEpTION by making a request (i.e. for the project overview page of the INCEpTION user) from the Python backend and setting the remote_user header with the logged in webapp user (we have our own user management). However the response I get is always the HTML of the Login page, so I guess it's not working how I wanted. What could be the problem here?

Maybe I get something fundamentally wrong and preauth is only working with a authentication proxy setup? I'm a bit lost...
For the respective Inception Server Settings I followed the Admin Guide.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance!
