OAuth "Bad Request" Error with Google Auth

[Prabjot2507]

Issue Description

Experiencing a "Bad Request: TokenError" during Google OAuth login with LibreChat running behind an NGINX ingress controller in Kubernetes. The OAuth flow initiates correctly and redirects to Google, but fails during the callback phase with a token error.

Error Details

Environment Configuration

Kubernetes Setup

• Ingress Controller: NGINX Ingress Controller
• SSL: Valid SSL certificate with proper domain verification
• Domain: chat.domain.com (accessible and working for other applications)

LibreChat Configuration

values.yaml:

env:
  PROXY: "true"
  TRUST_PROXY: "true"
  GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: "your-client-id"
  GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET: "your-client-secret"
  GOOGLE_CALLBACK_URL: "https://chat.domain.com/oauth/google/callback"

ingress:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;

Google OAuth Configuration

• OAuth Consent Screen: Properly configured with domain
• Authorized Domains: chat.domain.com included
• Authorized Redirect URIs: https://chat.domain.com/oauth/google/callback
• Other Applications: Using the same OAuth consent screen work correctly

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

1. Verified OAuth Configuration

• ✅ Google OAuth app settings are correct
• ✅ Callback URL matches exactly
• ✅ Domain is properly verified
• ✅ SSL certificate is valid
• ✅ Other applications using same OAuth work fine

2. Environment Variables

• ✅ PROXY=true - Enables proxy support
• ✅ TRUST_PROXY=true - Trusts proxy headers
• ✅ All OAuth environment variables properly set

3. NGINX Configuration Verification

The NGINX configuration shows correct proxy headers:

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;

Additional Context

• LibreChat Version: v0.7.8
• Kubernetes Version: 1.31
• NGINX Ingress Version: Latest stable
• OAuth Provider: Google OAuth 2.0
