Hello getting this error in NC 14 Beta 3

[nextcloud-bot]

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #10502 (Nextcloud 14 Beta 3), #8550 (The "X-Frame-Options" HTTP header is not set to "SAMEORIGIN".), #10605 (Nextcloud 14 Beta 4), #10410 (Nextcloud 14 Beta 2), and #9122 (Add setupcheck for Referrer-Policy header).

So it is not and error it is a warning as you can see.
It is warning you a header is not set which makes your browser forward any referrer information which is not recommended. So the system is actually doing what it should do. Warning you.

Okay, this is an browser issue? I don’t get this warning on NC 13 ??

Ah no. It is a new security header. We only added a check for it in NC14. That si why it shows up in the beta ;)

@rullzer is this warrning always going to show?

[rullzer]

Yes. Unless you set the header. Same as for the other security header we recommend

@rullzer Thank you! how do i set the header and where ?

[ghost]

@rullzer any update on this?

@andyxh This header needs to be added into your vhost conf.

Ex: <VirtualHost *:443>
Header add Strict-Transport-Security: "max-age=15768000;includeSubdomains"
Header always set Referrer-Policy "strict-origin"

Yes. Unless you set the header. Same as for the other security header we recommend

It should be added to the NC docs as well, not? The location where and what do add, like with this other header that's documented. Currently there is a W3C link, but I think it's not very comprehensive for everyone.

[penCsharpener]

I agree with @mathiasconradt. Only figured out what to do with @ShipNecro comment.

Why not add these headers to the .htaccess file that Nextcloud generates (on Apache servers)?
