@tasuke93 Thank you for the information, Can you please share the Dockerfile of the netbox version you are using ?

Sure here the Dockerfile:

Netbox-docker-3.2.1-dockerfile.zip

I found what causing this issue. it was custom CSRF_COOKIE_NAME + NGINX Proxy (to handle SSL)
I try without nginx it can generate the Key and able activate the key and I notice 2 CSRF token was created.

I also testing on Netbox version 4.3.2 Docker 3.3.0 the issue still persisted

current workaround is to use default CSRF_COOKIE_NAME=csrftoken

Can't say but it could be due to

netbox-secrets/netbox_secrets/project-static/src/util.ts

Line 40 in f76212e

const { csrftoken: csrfToken } = Cookie.parse(document.cookie);

The fix doesn't work for me. I've attached the traceback for the new error I'm seeing.
