#32 blockerbugs bugzilla account link silently fails
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by tflink.

dgilmore reported having trouble linking his bugzilla account in blockerbugs earlier today. He was able to authenticate and fill out the fas_bugzilla form but when that form was submitted, nothing happened.

There are almost no log messages in production other than the hit in access_logs and the absense of a flash message makes me suspect that there's something going on with the fas_openid plugin. Apparently, this has happend to dgilmore before with other fedora apps and it was traced back to some restriction in cookie size due to the number of FAS groups that he's a member of.

Not sure what the root cause is, needs more investigation. pingou may know more about what's going on if it's the same issue that he saw with pkgdb.

The basic issue is that Dennis is in too many groups, so when he logs in the amount of data to store in the cookie exceed its capacity and thus Dennis logs in fine but the cookie isn't saved and it's like he hasn't logged in.

The basic solution is to restrict the list of groups asked upon login to the groups that are really needed. pkgdb2, fedocal, nuancier, elections have been adjust for it.
For pkgdb2 the change is at: https://github.com/fedora-infra/pkgdb2/blob/master/pkgdb2/ui/__init__.py#L201-L204
