I run my calibre web server behind a reverse proxy, with authentication done on the proxy so don't want to use calibre's username/password feature.

I am also running readarr on the same PC and when it tries to add books, it fails with

Code:

HTTP Error - Res: [POST] http://192.168.0.15:13005/cdb/add-book/997033116/1/$dummy.epub/Calibre_Library: 403.Forbidden
Anonymous users are not allowed to make changes

If I enable user name and password, it works OK.

I have tried enabling the options for allowing un-authenticated connections to make changes (see attached screenshot) but it makes no difference.

I have seen the "--enable-local-write" option, but not sure how to specify this as calibre starts the web server automatically, although I had assumed that the un-authenticated parameters would do this for me.

Anyone advise what I'm doing wrong?
