Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: [XSCE] Re: Client side Moodle transparent auth broken in 13.2.0 stable

2013-08-24 Thread Anna
I'm still seeing this issue sporadically on my XO-1 clients.  Surely not
all the XO-1s (6-7) I'm testing with have bad manufacturing data.

Autologin does eventually work if I delete the cookies and try again.
 Here's what I'm seeing:

Registered the XO, opened Browse, went to Moodle, confirmed no autologin
rm
/home/olpc/.sugar/default/org.laptop.WebActivity/data/gecko/cookies.sqlite
Restart Browse, autologin works

Thanks for the greeting! I had a season of detox after some severe
burnout. I'm spending this weekend at Fedora Flock for personal
enjoyment, and it's brought me back to the OLPC topic.

About Anna's machines -- I suspect either an old OFW or

Good to hear from you Martin. Just to finish this thread off, I was not
able to reproduce this behavior with the XO-1s that I have. This appears to

That is _very_ weird. Does the affected unit have any problem reading

I reimaged & registered a XO-1.75 and a XO-4 with 13.2.0 to a XS-0.7
schoolserver.  Afterwards I opened Browse, and was able to open
http://schoolserver/ to login to Moodle without problems.

This does not mean that there is not a bug with 13.2.0, XS, and/or XSCE;
but one thing you could try is to fully stop and restart the Browse
activity after registering if the first login attempt does not work.
Sometimes I have found this helps.

 I just realized that someone will probably ask what's the most recent
 build where Moodle transparent auth did work.  Lucky for me, I just had to
 test one older.  Moodle transparent auth DOES work in 13.2.0-12.

 So whatever broke client side Moodle transparent auth should be
 confined to 13.2.0-13.

 I very recently upgraded my little herd of XOs to the latest stable
 build 13.2.0-13.  Unfortunately, something in that build has broken
 Moodle's transparent authentication.  When a registered client goes to
 http://schoolserver/moodle, all it gets is the login page.

 Now, that's not unheard of, you can usually just click the "Home"
 button and get automatically logged in.  But when I've seen that before,
 the XO's SN is filled out in the Username field on the login page.  The
 13.2.0-13 XO doesn't show that.  No matter what you click on in the Moodle
 login page, it never logs in.

 To verify it was a client side issue, I flashed an XO-1 with 13.1.0
 stable, and registered first to be admin.  I also registered a 13.2.0-13 as
 the second client.  On the 13.1.0, I can go to the Moodle homepage and it
 automatically logged me in.  I tried again to access the Moodle homepage on
 the 13.2.0-13 XO-1, but yep, still just got the login page.  On the admin
 XO, I went to Site Administration -> Users -> Accounts -> Browse list of
 users and saw both XOs listed.  It indicated that the 13.2.0-13 client had
 never logged in.

 So, the user account is being created on the server for the 13.2.0-13
 XO upon registration, but client side transparent authentication is not
 working.

 To verify the 13.2.0-13 XO's Browse Activity is accepting cookies, I
 went to
 http://www.bu.edu/htbin/computing/browsers/troubleshooting/cookietest.pland
  the test was successful.

 Now, I have successfully tested Moodle transparent auth with previous
 iterations of 13.2.0, perhaps 8 or 9?  So whatever change on 13.2.0 that
 broke transparent auth must have been relatively recent.

 I took a look at the Browse Activity version between the two clients:
 13.1.0 = Browse 149
 13.2.0-13 = Browse 149.3

 I knew it wouldn't make a difference, but I also tested the 13.2.0-13
 as first registration and it doesn't care that its the admin user.  And
 also tested with a fresh flash to make sure there wasn't something sticky
 in there from a previous registration gumming things up.

 I've tested this with the XSCE installed a couple days ago
 (xs-config-0.8.4.123.gda5e8e3-1) and the latest DXS from this morning.  I
 also remembered I have an XS 0.6 (duh, Anna) and the results were the same.
  I don't have an XS 0.7 installation, but I would expect the same results.

 Since this is a client side issue, I'm not sure where to go from here
 as far as troubleshooting.
