SSO + CRSF causes 403 errors

    Description

      We are running jenkins behind an apache proxy

      Since the latest update, the kerberos sso plugin will cause issues related to the CSRF security policy that is enabled by default.

       

      If we only disable the Kerberos SSO, and log in manually using LDAP credentials, everything works as expected.

      If we only disable the CSRF Protection, and login using SSO, everything works as expected

      (besides a remote API call, that requires CSRF to be enabled)

       

      But when both CSRF and SSO are enabled, the automatic login works perfectly.

      But the moment you try to do a form submit, like starting a job, we will get a 403 - Forbidden error.

      This has been working perfectly for a few years. So a recent update broke this.

      Perhaps the SSO plugin needs an update, related to another recent change in how CSRF is handled ?

            This is the cause, by adding the jenkins.security.seed.UserSeedProperty.disableUserSeed to true, everything works again.

            Hopefully this helps in updating the plugin

            In my instance with kerberos-sso 1.2, the incompatibility with SECURITY-901 manifests as a redirect loop.  I've been unable to upgrade to 1.4 due to JENKINS-44484 but I'll test it on a separate instance.

            I have merged the PR even though the tests against 1.150.2 are not passing yet. It is the only way for you to get the CI builds on never Jenkins version.
