Could not able to click Create PassKey button- ( Mozilla,Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS) about hanko HOT 10 CLOSED

Hanko Team, Just as side note we have tried installing the Hanko on local Windows 11 system and accessing the same using Chrome browser, it worked fine.

Our suspicion is hosting on Ubuntu is causing it.. but we are not sure...

Unfortunately, multi-device/synced passkeys are not yet supported on Ubuntu. There's nothing we can do about this until Ubuntu implements a platform authenticator.

As soon as we ship #331, it should at least be possible with Ubuntu/Firefox to create single-device passkeys on physical Security Keys.

@FlxMgdnz
Thanks for response...

As per your comment, looks like the hosting on ubunto is causing it, is that correct?

Just to confirm and get clear understanding. I am wondering why or for what hanko depends on any server side component for webauthn?

Also can you point us to any doc that gives supported platforms?

Any insights will be helpful to us to plan future strategy...

from hanko.

Hosting on Ubuntu should not be a problem at all, there are no specific requirements on the server side.

Creating a passkey requires WebAuthn to be available on the client side, though. In your case, you can host Hanko on Ubuntu, but passkeys would only be usable on non-Ubuntu clients.

from hanko.

Yes that makes sense. However we are puzzled because the pass key button is disabled when we host it on Ubuntu and try to access using windows client using Chrome.

This works perfectly fine when hosted on windows locally and accessed using local client.

Any idea why this would happen?

Did you serve the hanko-quickstart over https while hosting it on Ubuntu?

The Web Authentication API only works in a secure context which is either localhost or https. If you want to host the hanko-quickstart on a different machine you must serve it over https to be able to use passkeys.

from hanko.

Yes we have hosted that on Https and tried but internally quick start and element containers communicate over http, so it was giving secure protocol issue over hanko element container access

Hi Hanko Team,
Do you have any reference docker-compose file for https setup?

from hanko.

No, currently we don't have any docker-compose file with https setup.

Closing this for now. Please reach out if you have any more issues.
