I am trying to configure alternative origin(“[https://icevent.app](https://icevent.app)”) for canister [https://znisf-eqaaa-aaaaj-aabta-cai.raw.ic0.app/](https://znisf-eqaaa-aaaaj-aabta-cai.raw.ic0.app/) by following instruction [https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/internet-identity/alternative-origins#configuring-alternative-origins](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/internet-identity/alternative-origins#configuring-alternative-origins) , but it doesn’t show the origin as document when I try to login with domain (“icevent.app”), still get the different principal. my configurations as below, anyone can help me? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/3/36bc09d146403b820011ea6b9545780d96ecb860.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/f/fd0adeeaf80039c1dd46c6eb1bb8990827e46172.png) ii-alternative-origins file: > { > “alternativeOrigins”: [ > “[https://icevent.app](https://icevent.app)”,“[https://www.icevent.app](https://www.icevent.app)” > ] > } ---

Set the `derivationOrigin` to the original domain. [InternetIdentityAuthRequest ii-spec](https://github.com/dfinity/internet-identity/blob/main/docs/ii-spec.md#client-authentication-protocol) [AuthClient login agent-js](https://agent-js.icp.xyz/auth-client/classes/AuthClient.html#login) ---

Are you using dfx and if yes, did you proceed with the all configuration including the chapter " Configuring Your Asset Canister" > **[Alternative frontend origins | Internet Computer](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/internet-identity/alternative-origins#configuring-your-asset-canister)** > > Overview > Then, configure the .well-known directory to be included, with > > [ > { > “match”: “.well-known”, > “ignore”: false > }, > { > “match”: “.well-known/ii-alternative-origins”, > “headers”: { > “Access-Control-Allow-Origin”: “\*”, > “Content-Type”: “application/json” > }, > “ignore”: false > } > ] ---

Good. Also [https://znisf-eqaaa-aaaaj-aabta-cai.raw.ic0.app/.well-known/ii-alternative-origins](https://znisf-eqaaa-aaaaj-aabta-cai.raw.ic0.app/.well-known/ii-alternative-origins) seems ok. Final piece, did you pass the derivation origin to agent-js? ```auto await authClient.login({ ... derivationOrigin: "https://your-url.ic0.app" ``` where `https://your-url.ic0.app` is the original domain used to sign-in - i.e. the domain you want to use to get the same principal ---

yes, like this > ```auto > authClient.login({ > > ``` ```auto derivationOrigin: "https://znisf-eqaaa-aaaaj-aabta-cai.raw.ic0.app", identityProvider: IDENTITY_PROVIDER, maxTimeToLive: ONE_WEEK_NS, onSuccess: () => handleAuthenticated(authClient), }); ``` ---

What version of agent-js are you using? Did you re-deploy? When I go to [https://icevent.app/](https://icevent.app/) and open and debug II, I can notice that no `derivationOrigin` is passed. So either agent-js is not well configured, or not redeployed or it does not pass the information but that’s where the issue is I think. ![Capture d’écran 2023-03-01 à 07.12.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/2X/c/c2583fc6b65f31e73a253de456f04be507662b4a.jpeg) ---

No, my dfx is 0.12.1, but agent.js was old 0.11
