It affects this wiki and the git-annex +wiki. I am editing this through the anonymous git push interface. + +OpenID is failing on me. That is, sometimes it works, sometimes it +doesn't. For example, while writing this, I clicked the "Preferences" +link and I seemed to have been logged in automatically without +problem, even though I previously *tried* to login and failed with an +error similar to [[bugs/Error:_OpenID_failure:_time_bad_sig:]], which +of course I cannot reproduce anymore on ikiwiki.info now: + + Error: OpenID failure: time_bad_sig: Return_to signature is not + valid. + +I *can* still reproduce this on the git-annex wiki, however, which is +odd. This *could* be because the OpenID host is screwing up, as I am +not directly responsible for that box anymore... but then why would it +work on one wiki and not the other? + +But worse, I cannot login with my regular non-OpenID user, which I +started using more regularly now. When I type the wrong password, the +login form gives me "Invalid entry" next to the password field. But +then if I do a password recall and reset my password, I get a +different error: + + Error: login failed, perhaps you need to turn on cookies? + +That happens reliably on git-annex.branchable.com. ikiwiki.info seems +to be more stable: i can eventually login. i can login to my personal +wiki with OpenID fine. I can also login to branchable.com itself with +openid without issues. + +So I guess the problem is mostly with git-annex.branchable.com? Not +sure how to debug this further. + +Thanks. --[[anarcat]] -- 2.39.2
