There's a hint in the forums. Go to bugzilla.opensuse.org. There I get a complaint that my email address isn't verified, even though I've previously done this. So I went through that email verification process again, logging out and getting: This Connection is Untrusted You have asked Firefox to connect securely to esp.novell.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. And then logging in again....and poof. The page isn't redirecting properly again. Something's either broken or it's a really ugly mess. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Not sure, cleared all my cookies etc and logged into bugzilla went to the forums and no issues. Cleared them all out and went to the forums and then bugzilla and still no problems... openSUSE 13.2 and FF 36.

The age old question, if you create a test user and login, can you duplicate?

Do you mean a local login account? Yes, from first post "This even happens with a new OS user account, so all new clean FireFox preferences and no add-ons." I can login successfully at novell.com, without complaints, and now too on bugzilla.opensuse.org, but when I go to https://forums.opensuse.org/ I get a redirect error. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No.

It's still a problem today. novell.com no problem; bugzilla.opensuse.org no problem; forums.opensuse.org fails

Hi The admins advise it's a cookie issue from your descriptions of the problem to date, clear them all out (your cookies) and try again.

So I've done clean installs of both openSUSE 13.2 and Fedora 21 and Fedora 22. And in all three of them, this fails. Attached are screenshots of the cookies created just by a single login attempt. I think that alone is... very suboptimal. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_2Asp8DGjJ9V1VHODBjMHNiS0E/edit?pli=1 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_2Asp8DGjJ9QU5sMUJEUklXcmc/edit?pli=1 That's 31 cookies, 5 of which exist on launch because the browser defaults to opensuse.org and this Firefox defaults to Google search. However the remainder, including the target and double click cookies are the result of going to forums.opensuse.org and it pulling in a whole pile of redirects. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

To test the cookie problem another way, consider installing another browser just for test and remove afterwards.

I've tried this on Chrome as I mentioned in the first post. And I've tried it in both Chrome and FireFox on OS X as well. Curiously, Safari on OS X won't even go to opensuse.org at all. Even after I reset it, it says: Safari can't open the page "www.openseuse.org/en/" because Safari can't load any data from this location. suse.com works fine. I wonder if anyone willing to totally reset their browser or create a new user login wants to try this. I suspect anyone with "good cookie" state this works for, and anyone else gets this misconfigured result. OR there's something very strange going on and it's the result of a collision between a misconfiguration at opensuse.org *and* somehow locally to my ISP or something. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I also do not frequent the forums, and I also have no problems accessing https://forums.opensuse.org/, but I seem to be unable to log out though. I go to https://forums.opensuse.org/, I hit "Logout" which takes me to https://www.suse.com/common/util/logout.php which claims "You have successfully logged out". However, when I go to https://forums.opensuse.org/ I appear to be still logged in. I can edit my profile etc. Very odd. I guess the forums don't share the login with e.g. bugzilla.opensuse.org and features.opensuse.org ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
