I thought it was addressed on 4.4 and on but couldn't find any notes on it. I have a headless system (rpi) that I run this on for my scrolling Marquee and had not managed to need to authenticate since I upgraded from 4.3 to 4.5, until this evening. If a note about this could be added to the documentation that would be awesome. The --noauth_local_(web)server flag was not working... may have had it in the wrong spot... so I just followed the prompts as one would from normal authentication up until the opening a web browser part. Once it paused I opened the link it gave me, followed the prompts then it tried to open the http://localhost:port/auth/code link. Naturally that didn't work and attempting to redirect to the remote IP, my case was internal, didn't either. I copied the link that was given in the local browser, ssh'd a second session into the remote machine, and curl "http://localhost:port/auth/code". After making sure I used the quotes it authenticated as expected.
