Authorization Credentials Stripped --- django, elastic beanstalk, oauth

I like the idea of just having some extra configuration on the standard place. In your .ebextensions directory create a wsgi_custom.config file with:

files:
  "/etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgihacks.conf":
    mode: "000644"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      WSGIPassAuthorization On

I thought the problem was with my configuration in django or some other error type instead of focusing on the differences between localhost and EB. The issue is with EB's Apache settings.

WSGIPassAuthorization is natively set to OFF, so it must be turned ON. This can be done in your *.config file in your .ebextensions folder with the following command added:

container_commands:
  01_wsgipass:
    command: 'echo "WSGIPassAuthorization On" >> ../wsgi.conf'

Please let me know if I missed something or if there is a better way I should be looking at the problem. I could not find anything specifically about this anywhere on the web and thought this might save somebody hours of troubleshooting then feeling foolish.
