Since 2AM (ish) this morning, the SSO does no longer work with LinkedIn.
We 100% get the error "the authorization server encountered an unexpected condition".
We did not change our code whatsoever. We tried to switch the LinkedIn developer app to test mode and then back to live mode, but still no luck.
There can be no logs on our end (for the issue is on LinkedIn end), and AFAIK there is no developer log on LinkedIn either (although it could be a pretty useful addition).
Anyone experiencing the same issue? Or anyone have any idea why this could happen all of a sudden?
Thanks!
EDIT: after several attempts (by modifying our OAUTH code in some ways), it always failed. And we decided to create another brand new LinkedIn developer app, and it did work! This is really weird...
I use Oauth via Microsoft and it has worked fine for a while, then a couple of weeks ago (can't remember exactly when) i got some tweet or something from someone saying that they had problems signing in with MS Oauth.
The error i get is this.
https://login.live.com/err.srf?lc=1033#error=invalid_request&error_description=The+provided+value+for+the+input+parameter+'redirect_uri'+is+not+valid.+The+expected+value+is+'https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf'+or+a+URL+which+matches+the+redirect+URI+registered+for+this+client+application.
The page actually says
"We're unable to complete your request
Microsoft account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later."
And that indicates that they may actually have some issues but i think it's been like this for a while so i suspect it's just some generic error.
If i look at my request it says.
client_id=[MY CLIENT ID]&scope=wl.basic&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback/?provider=microsoft&sid=[some id]
I do get the same error on both my dev app and the production app i have setup.
This is how my callback URLs look like. I have tried to add URLS both with ExternalLoginCallback and externallogincallback but it doesn't seems to work. It looks like it's saved but it's gone when you return to the page.
Anyone know how to contat MS to at least report this bug and maybe also get hold of someone that can help debug my problem?

OK, got it. The issue is with your request URL, remove / character from ..back/?provid.... Your request URL should be
client_id=[MY CLIENT ID]&scope=wl.basic&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback?provider=microsoft&sid=[some id]
and you can have any redirect URL #MS
http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback
or
http://dev.ohso.se/login/ExternalLoginCallback/
I have been using reverse auth in my Twitter app for a year now. This morning my app reverse auth stopped working. After doing some inspecting, I found out that I am receiving an error message that states "Reverse auth credentials are invalid." This is extremely confusing to me, as I have changed nothing. I have emailed Twitter but haven't heard back yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We just noticed a similar issue in our app. Unfortunately the documentation is no longer accessible.
Changing the HTTP method of the initial https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token request from GET to POST fixed it for us.
Im using google one time code flow oauth login for my site, which described here,
Now my problem is the link is working fine and google is asking my username and password then it is just hagging over there no response and not redirecting to my site only in windows phone IE.
My guess is that it is opening in the same window so it will not able to find the callback function in my site,
I dont know how to fix this now. Anyone please help me to fix this.
Thank you in advance.
I am using the ruby twitter gem and oauth to gain access to users twitter accounts. In my code, I have:
unless #user.twitter_authd?
oauth = Twitter::OAuth.new('token', 'secret')
session[:twitter_request_token] = oauth.request_token.token
session[:twitter_request_secret] = oauth.request_token.secret
#twitter_auth_url = oauth.request_token.authorize_url
end
where token and secret have my actual token and secret inserted. When I click on the link to the #twitter_auth_url, I am taken to twitter and asked to grant access. I click allow and then twitter redirects me to my callback URL http://www.mydomain.com/twitter_callback/?oauth_token=fmy2aMvnjVgaFrz37bJ4JuB8r5xN79gsgDQRG4BNY which then hits this code:
oauth = Twitter::OAuth.new('token', 'secret')
logger.info("session[:twitter_request_token] = #{session[:twitter_request_token]}")
logger.info("session[:twitter_request_secret] = #{session[:twitter_request_secret]}")
oauth.authorize_from_request(session[:twitter_request_token], session[:twitter_request_secret])
session[:twitter_request_token] = nil
session[:twitter_request_secret] = nil
#user.update_attributes({
:twitter_token => oauth.access_token.token,
:twitter_secret => oauth.access_token.secret,
})
redirect_to root_path
The twitter request token and secret are being set just fine. However I end up with an authorization error:
OAuth::Unauthorized in MainController#twitter_callback
401 Unauthorized
RAILS_ROOT: /Users/TAmoyal/Desktop/RoR_Projects/mls
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/oauth-0.3.4/lib/oauth/consumer.rb:167:in `token_request'

The code is failing at this line:
oauth.authorize_from_request(session[:twitter_request_token], session[:twitter_request_secret])
when it tries to get an access token. You can see the source code of authorize_from_request here. I am not sure why this is happening. Anyone have ideas?
A bit late to the party but just ran into the same issue myself. I tracked the issue down to the setup of my OAuth app in Twitter. I had initially not specified a callback URL as I was unsure of it.
Once I had setup my rails app I went back to find Twitter had assumed I was a desktop application as I hadn't specified a callback URL. Once I changed this to website and entered a callback URL I stopped getting 400s.
If you're getting error 401 - OAuth::Unauthorized, make sure you edit the settings of your Twitter application as follows:
Application Type: Browser
Callback URL: http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitter/callback
this is an issue about time synchronization of your system with twitter server.
Twitter doesn't allow localhost as part of a valid callback URL.
Instead use http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/twitter/callback
Hope this helps
This was one of the most annoying things to debug that I have come across. I was outputting in a couple places by accident because the URL's are dynamic and they happened to not be defined in my test case (i use this to display chart data and there is not enough right now so the google chart api URL's are blank). This caused my browser to make multiple requests to my localhost when some pages were loaded. Somehow that made the oauth process crap out. Obviously there is no way for people on S.O. to know about my application specific issue so I had to answer my own question.
I had this same problem and none of the suggestions in this thread worked for me.
I found the problem for me was the TIMESTAMP on my request. The mobile device I was running my scripts on had a jacked up clock. When I updated the system time on my device to the correct time (i.e. now), all of my requests came back "200 OK" instead of "401 Unauthorized".
This problem seems to be caused by twitter not being able to handle connection keep-alive correctly. Make sure you set connection=close http header in the request to twitter. Wasted a weekend debugging this.
not enough info for me, but when was twitter gem last updated? twitter changed their oauth 'stuff' in mid may approx. perhaps you have an old one. I'd update your question to show the callback_url, and make sure you have the right token and secret, which it looks like you don't have.
also, did you put the right callback url in your twitter app page? alot of times that screws you up too.
if that fails use mbleighs twitter_auth instead. it worked for me and is pretty slick.
