x-forwarded-for support for logging true user IP

[XANi]

As far as I loooked there is no option to enable using IP in x-forwarded-for header for access logs

We use harbor behind a loadbalancer and only loadbalancer IP gets logged. Security-wise it should probably only accept that header from whitelisted proxy IPs/networks.

Could you try to add env TRUE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER in the harbor core configmap if it's installed via harbor-helm

[XANi]

I assume by "core configmap" you mean harbor.yml and by adding env you mean adding

env:
  normal:
    TRUE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER: x-forwarded-for

to the end of the file ? (I'm not very familar with harbor)

If so, no, doesn't work, I added it then re-ran install.sh but it still logs the proxy IP

[MinerYang]

If you deploy by docker compose, would you try bellowing steps?

1. stop harbor instance

docker compose down -v 

3. edit the common/config/core/env file by adding TRUE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER

TRUE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER=xxx

4. restart harbor

docker compose up -d

Did not work

[09:50:51]d1-harbor:/opt/harbor-install/installer☠ cat common/config/core/env |grep x-forw
TRUE_CLIENT_IP_HEADER=x-forwarded-for

(i've also verified that traffic on the port does have that header in lowercase)

Ooops,it is not been logged the audit logs.
we will follow this requirement the future.
Please monitor this PR #19725

@MinerYang I dunno if here is proper place to say it but it really should have second parameter with list of allowed IPs/nets aside from "what header to use". Else anything (not just the LB that can ensure that header is not faked) could send a request with XFF and bogus IP in it.
