SSO Issues (new user)

Hello!

I registered for the database / sotwatch etc. When I login to any of these sites with the SSO my login appears to be accepted ok but then I am presented with a white screen. A quick look in the browsers devtools tells me it thinks that there is a CORS header missing.

I have no idea why it would apparently only be me seeing this, but I am getting on Firefox and chromium. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

Your account was created while we had a database issue, which means that the DB side wasn’t created. I’ll push it out shortly and then you should be able to log in. Give me about 10 minutes.

ah excellent, it’s working now. Thanks.

Don’t know why I was also getting that CORS error on the 500 then :thinking:

It’s just a standard error message when FF/Chrome get a response they don’t understand - because it comes from an XHR, they default to assuming that CORS headers weren’t set. If it hadn’t been an XHR, you’d have a 404 or 500 error bubbling through.

Looks like I’m having this issue as well. Years ago, I’d signed up (presumably) for this reflector but life took me on a detour and that’s as far as things went. Last night, I signed up for all the other SOTA stuff (watch; data; map, etc) however, as soon as I log in, I’m greeted with the white screen of nothingness. Doesn’t matter which webpage I’m logging into. They all go white. After reading the above conversation, I’m wondering if maybe I tried to sign up during a database problem…

You actually signed up for a database account in 2018/2019 just as we were switching from the old to new registration methods. You had an account for the old system but it was never ported to the new. The result was you had the inside guts of an account but no way to log in.

Last night when you registered again, the system created a new SSO account ( the bit that handles logins etc.) but the software saw you had an actual database account and didn’t create another. So you had all the right accounts just not linked together. They are now and it should be fine.
