Thread: Login issues (wiki, commitfest)

Hi

Just a quick heads-up - I am no longer able to log in to
wiki.postgresql.org (despite
successfully logging in on the main PostgreSQL site) - clicking on the
wiki login link
causes a redirect to the https site via www.postgresql.org but with no effect.

The commitfest login resolutely rejects my login attempts.

I guess this is the same issue as mentioned on the reviewers list:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAFjNrYsAYTxP+FFtuZcadmqQjBq9ZhB9naNYeDNyCR+NY=H0Rg@mail.gmail.com

FWIW I probably changed my password a few weeks ago, and changed it
just now again
in the hope it might solve the problem.


Regards

I seem to be having the same problem - I can login on the main site 
(www), but when I return to the wiki I'm not logged in. I haven't 
changed my password, and my browser deletes all cookies when I close it.

Just for reference in case it helps, my account was not new (I guess it has been
around for a few years); I had changed the password at some point in
the last couple
of months, but was not able to log into commit fest earlier with that password.
(I then went and changed the password).

I did do the usual clear cookies thing, as well as trying from another browser.

FWIW, when the login was working, I got HTTP 500 errors when trying to login
from anywhere except the wiki index page.


Thanks for any assistance :)

Note that due to a design flaw in mediawiki, if you click an "HTTP" link
instead of an "HTTPS" link, you are sent to a not-logged-in page.  Our
team cannot fix this.

hmm for the wiki it seems we actually have two different issues and I
have found a way to reproduce the problem using a test-account as well.
However I'm not 100% sure yet on what exactly is causing the issue, it
seems related to the mediawiki/OS upgrade from the weekend but it might
take a while to solve that :(

I've pushed a fix for this. This being the commitfest page issue only
- not the wiki issue.

You need to log in once to the main www.postgresql.org website for
things to be properly updated, and once you've done that you should be
able to log in to the cf site again. If you already have a persistent
session on the main website you need to first log out and then back in
- it's not enough to just access a logged-in resource. You do both
these by clicking "Your account" in the main menu.

Thanks, CF site is working fine for me now. Oddly enough I now get an internal
server error on the main PostgreSQL site after clicking on the Login link
on the wiki, but I guess that's Someone Else's Problem.

Hmm, no, I htink that's something new. I probably broke something else
when I fixed things. I get the same error myself. Will investigate and
fix.

Indeed, I typoed something in my fix. Re-fixed now :)

It does indeed look re-fixed. Wiki login still not working, but that
is the Somebody
Else's Problem I meant

I have applied some hacks that should make the wiki login working again
for now, we are currently discussing a more permanent and future proof
solution to the root issue though.

FWIW this more or less affected a subset of users that were either
created AFTER June 16th 2013 or users created before that but had
changed their preferences in certain ways after the 25.05.2012.
