Apologies for the late arrival but what correction to the nginx config was used to correct this issue

Jerome · Answer

I wanted to restrict access on WebUI and I set it up this on location ` ` but this was wrong because this is for all sub locations too therefore I set it up on location ` api v1 kolide ` because it is used only by WebUI

Jerome · Answer

so this is depend on your config if you have the same error this mean that your nginx have a restriction access somewhere
