GitLab Pages Access Control Issue After Upgrade to 16.11.10+

Hi everyone,

After upgrading my GitLab CE instance to 16.11.10, GitLab Pages with Access Control enabled stopped working.

Here’s my setup:

GitLab Version: CE 17.5.2 (but Access Control stopped working at version 16.11.10)
Pages Setup: HTTPS with a self-signed certificate (closed network)

The site works if I disable Access Control or set Pages visibility to Everyone instead of Only member of the project, but fails when restricting access to project members. It worked fine before the upgrade 16.11.10.

I have tried many things, including upgrading the gitlab-runner to the latest version, regenerating tokens, changing my configuration file many different ways, but I cannot find why it stopped working.

Has anyone encountered this or have suggestions to fix it? Thanks in advance!
