## Feature(s) impacted Accessing data ## Observed behavior Whenever I try to access Forest Admin it shows me this screenshot: ![Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 19.31.17](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/c/cab8065aaac0ab1b71b6294fbbd95716c0584d69.png) In dev tools, it shows a 401 unauthorized on the request to get data. There is also a CORS error on the preflight request, even though I have implemented Rack::Cors in Rails. Before I implemented Rack::Cors as suggested by the docs, there were more CORS errors. ## Expected behavior Ability to view data ## Failure Logs There are no errors the logs on the Rails side. ## Context Using Rails 7, with forest\_liana 8. I have implemented Rack::Cors as per the docs. - Project name: Basejam - Team name: … - Environment name: … - Agent (forest package) name & version: forest\_liana 8.0.16 - Database type: postgresql - Recent changes made on your end if any: … ---

Hello @chrisingram, Thanks for reaching out 🙌 Something is unclear to me: were you able to connect before? Did you do something (upgrade your liana version, change a configuration, etc) that would trigger this connection issue? Thanks. ---

Hey @anon34731316 I am coming back to an old account and project, that now has a new repo and a fresh install of forest\_liana. However, I did also try setting up a new project from scratch, and the same thing is happening there. Some interesting behaviour: it does load the schema and database fields somehow, but not the actual data. Cheers ---

Some more information: I have added some logs to the forest\_liana gem code locally, and it logs fine for the authentication controller, but this log statement at the top of ForestLiana::Router::call is not logged for the data requests. ![Screenshot 2023-11-20 at 12.08.06](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/a/ab3c3b59fadb4e272b75fd597382351aec24a034.png) So the data requests are not even getting to the router before they are rejected with 401. ---

Hi @chrisingram, Thanks for your answer. So that we can help you out, could you please: - share the logs you’re having when starting your agent? - share the logs you’re having in your browser as well (which call in failing)? - tell me if you well have this line `mount ForestLiana::Engine => '/forest'` in your `config/routes.rb` file? Thanks. ---

Update: I have narrowed this down to our authentication gem (Clerk) which has Rack middleware to intercept any request with a Bearer token and return 401 immediately if it doesn’t recognise it. This is why the requests are not getting to the router logs before they are returned. Took me a while to find that, as I assumed user authentication logic would be at the ApplicationController level. For anyone else landing here, it looks like you just need to add /forest/\* as an excluded route in the Clerk config. Thanks for the help in the meantime! ---

@chrisingram thanks for sharing this! Hope you’re fully up and running now. Cheers!
