Why does CentOS login not accept the FAS credentials that it purports to?

accounts.centos.org states:

You can also use your Fedora account to login here.

However, when I attempt to enter my credentials there, I observe:

Unauthorized: bad credentials.

What does this mean?

The Environment

Powered by noggin v1.11.0 (stable:d236f5e)

It works for me…

@augenauf, perhaps, this is restricted to specific account group membership?

I can log in too. And it looks like I logged in the first time today.

@rokejulianlockhart a session cooky with wrong attributes can change everything.
I use Firefox and there I can delete selective cookies/cache and you might just remove it for https://accounts.centos.org and try it again?

What catches my attentions since you signed up is, your extreme long alias and your long display name. Could this not also be a source of errors? Poor admins try to find you in the systems while making a typo in your alias :smiley:

Just if it is about the ask-fedora FAS group? You are in two groups which let you do quite a lot.

Well, if so then it’s a bug. If the system allows a username / alias / display name to be created, then it should handle it correctly in all places.

I referred more to typos (human made errors). This saved in caches, can cause a lot of headache.

Can you say a bit more about this? How does a human-made typo get into a cookie?

I changed my wording:

This saved in caches, can cause a lot of headache.

Better so?

Btw. did you read the tickets in infra? There have been a lot of issues about “time out’s” etc. Noggin is specially mentioned.

Sorry, I still don’t understand how “typos saved in caches” would cause the problem OP is describing here.

An issue with Noggin does sound more likely.

@pg-tips, it was a theoretical tangent of theirs.

In retrospect, @pg-tips, that appears to be so:

Perhaps, I should have filed that at Noggin’s repository, though.
