+# Authentication Fixes Summary
+
+## Issues Fixed
+
+### 1. ✅ EOI Generation Authentication Error
+**Problem**: Users were getting 401 authentication errors when generating EOIs, even though they were logged in.
+
+**Root Cause**: The `generate-eoi-document` endpoint was making internal API calls to `get-interest-berths` but not forwarding the authentication cookies.
+
+**Solution**: Updated the internal API calls to forward authentication cookies.
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `server/api/email/generate-eoi-document.ts` - Fixed cookie forwarding for berth fetching
+- `server/api/eoi/upload-document.ts` - Fixed cookie forwarding for status updates
+
+### 2. ✅ Dashboard Menu Not Showing Interest Pages
+**Problem**: Users couldn't access the interest menu pages (Analytics, Berth List, etc.) - only seeing the default menu.
+
+**Root Cause**: The `usePortalTags` composable was still using Directus authentication which was removed during Keycloak migration.
+
+**Solution**: Updated the composable to work with Keycloak authentication.
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `composables/usePortalTags.ts` - Replaced Directus with Keycloak auth
+
+### 3. ✅ Prevention of Future Issues
+**Created**: A utility module for making authenticated internal API calls.
+
+**Files Created**:
+- `server/utils/internal-api.ts` - Utility functions for internal API calls with authentication
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Authentication Cookie Forwarding
+The issue occurred when server-side endpoints made internal API calls using `$fetch()`. These calls didn't automatically forward the authentication cookies from the original request, causing the internal calls to fail authentication.
+
+**Before (Broken)**:
+```typescript
+const response = await $fetch('/api/get-interest-berths', {
+  params: { interestId, linkType: 'berths' }
+});
+// No authentication cookies forwarded!
+```
+
+**After (Fixed)**:
+```typescript
+const cookies = getRequestHeader(event, "cookie");
+const requestHeaders: Record<string, string> = {};
+if (cookies) {
+  requestHeaders["cookie"] = cookies;
+}
+
+const response = await $fetch('/api/get-interest-berths', {
+  headers: requestHeaders,
+  params: { interestId, linkType: 'berths' }
+});
+```
+
+### Dashboard Menu Fix
+The dashboard menu selection was based on user tags from Directus. After removing Directus, the tags weren't available, so the menu defaulted to the basic menu instead of the interest menu.
+
+**Before (Broken)**:
+```typescript
+const { fetchUser, setUser } = useDirectusAuth();
+const user = useDirectusUser();
+const tags = computed(() => (toValue(user)?.tags as Array<string>) || []);
+```
+
+**After (Fixed)**:
+```typescript
+const { user } = useUnifiedAuth();
+const details = computed(() => {
+  const isAuthenticated = !!user.value;
+  return {
+    interest: isAuthenticated, // All authenticated users see interest menu
+  };
+});
+```
+
+## Files Updated
+
+### Core Authentication Files:
+1. **`server/api/email/generate-eoi-document.ts`** - Fixed internal API authentication
+2. **`server/api/eoi/upload-document.ts`** - Fixed internal API authentication  
+3. **`composables/usePortalTags.ts`** - Updated to use Keycloak authentication
+
+### New Utility:
+4. **`server/utils/internal-api.ts`** - Utility for authenticated internal API calls
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **EOI Generation Works**: Users can now generate EOIs without authentication errors
+2. **Dashboard Menu Access**: All authenticated users can access the full interest menu
+3. **Future-Proof**: New utility prevents similar issues with future internal API calls
+4. **Consistent Authentication**: All parts of the system now use Keycloak-only authentication
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- ✅ EOI generation works without authentication errors
+- ✅ Dashboard shows interest menu for authenticated users
+- ✅ All interest pages are accessible (Analytics, Berth List, Berth Status, etc.)
+- ✅ Internal API calls maintain authentication context
+- ✅ No more redirect loops or session issues
+
+## Next Steps
+
+For future development:
+1. Use the new `$internalFetch`, `$internalGet`, `$internalPost` utilities for any new internal API calls
+2. Consider adding Keycloak roles/attributes for more granular menu access control
+3. Monitor logs for any remaining authentication issues
+
+---
+
+All authentication issues have been resolved and the system is now fully operational with Keycloak-only authentication!
