I have a problem. Whenever I go to ucwa.skype.com and sign in, I always get redirected to an error page and appear to be not signed in. But then if I again go to ucwa.skype.com/code, I am signed in but the tokens are not available. Instead I get ‘Data unavailable, try again’.
Does anyone know why is this happening?
Yes, I've seen that few days ago; and also seen similar issues sometimes in the past.
It is probably some problem with the application to run behind, so only MS can resolve that (with a restart? :))

I have come across a login error due to cookies. I have attempted the diagnosis but the error is still persistent. I cleared cookies and changes the settings and followed the options. I also watched a video on it to see if I might have missed a step.
Here is the problem
Error: cookies are blocked due to unexpected output. For help, please see this documentation or try the support forums.
I am unsure exactly what I must do at this stage. I tried clearing all plugins in case that might have caused some issues. But nothing happened. I am not sure why all of a sudden I get kicked out and it requests that I have cookies on (not that I don't)
I am a student and non-techy at least at the moment

Been struggling with this for hours.
This is a asp.net core 3.0 app.
It emails an activation link.
I then pick up that email in my inbox and click on it.
This link is:
https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myserver.com%2FAccount%2FActivate%3Fpin%3DwDiC3S&data=02%7C01%7C%7C8311079d8b314d288f7a08d77e73c924%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637116908072496731&sdata=y80XhRTBI%2FOJq6UrN8Yw%2B3nWDjrb96IprWR2IKIouVU%3D&reserved=0
It then emails me a confirmation message 9#by calling that view). But it does this twice.
What is weird is that if I copy and past this url from 1 browser to another I just receive the expected 1 confirmation email.
The only difference I can see is that the safelink stuff add si removed from copying and pasting that link. ie:
https://www.myserver.com/Account/Activate?pin=wDiC3S
I do not know how to debug this?
I have just come across this situation. It has taken me a few days to track down. I have a link within an outlook message and I wrote code to make sure it was not called twice. This code was activated the first time I called it. Eventually I realised that the email client must be calling it twice. I'm going to have to write a work around.
I'm glad I found it. It was driving me mad!
I would consider this to be an outlook bug.
I had a similar problem a while back that seemed to be tied to the email client pre-fetching and visiting the link. You may want to try a different email provider and client as part of your debugging efforts.
Here is a related question on the topic -
How to stop e-mail clients from visiting links in e-mail automatically?
I have this issue couple of days already. With trial and error i just found out the solution with my own testing, you just need to set-up the SMTP configuration with your outlook account.
Using PHPMailer
I have this configuration before
$trans = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance()
->setHost("xxxxxxxxxxx.mail.protection.outlook.com")
->setPort(25);
I changed to
$trans = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.office365.com', 587, 'tls')
->setUsername('xxxxx#xxxxxxx')
->setPassword('xxxxxxxxxxxx');
Now, it's working properly. I think ATP aka SafeLink Protection Feature will work only if the email address(sender) is not verified within your organization.
Problem description
I have an ASP.NET app in which the users have different rights, and are logged in through Facebook. The app includes (among other things) filling out some forms. Some users have access to forms others don't. The forms can sometimes require some searching in books and/or on the internet before being able to submit them.
As such, we're having problems with session time-outs (it seemed), where users would be met with "Not authorized to see this page/form" after doing research somewhere else.
Attempted solutions
I've created a log function that logs the state of a handful of variables on strategic points in the application. I've pinpointed the problem to the fact that the Session variable "UserRole" is null when the problem occurs.
Relogging
The obvious solution is: "Have you tried relogging?" - which should reset the session and allow the user back to the form they want. On logout, I use
Session.Clear();
Session.RemoveAll();
and I create a new session with relevant variables (including UserRole) on login. This doesn't help, though.
Keeping session alive
One way to do it is just increase the standard 20-minute Session length to an arbitrary, higher number (say 2 hours). Although that could be viable during beta (there are only around 5 users right now), it is not a viable solution in the long haul as the server would have to keep the Session objects from many users for longer time, exponentially increasing server demands.
Instead, I created a 'dummy' .ashx handler "RefreshSession.ashx", that can recieve a POST request and return "200" statuscode. I then created a jQuery function in the shared part of the app (that all the pages use) that calls this handler every 10 minutes in order to refresh the session as long as the tab is open in the browser. I've checked the network traffic, and it works as intended, calling the handler even if the window is minimized or the user is viewing another tab. This did not solve the problem either.
A caveat
When one of the users encounter the problem, they call me or my programming partner up. Of course, we go and see if we get the same issue. We all have the same (admin) rights. The 'funny' thing is that we see the exact same error on the same subpage - even if we haven't had any contact with the application for days.
The problem will 'fix itself' (i.e. let users with proper role back on the subpage) after a while, but not even republishing the app to the server will reset it manually.
Therefore, it seems to not be a simpel session error as supposed from the "UserRole" session variable being null after 15-20 minutes of inactivity. It seems to be saved somewhere internally in the server state.
My problem is, that I now have no idea where to look and how to progress. I was hoping that someone here might have an idea for a solution, or at least be able to point me in the right direction? :-)
Thank you all for your time, it is much appreciated.
Based on MaCron's comment to the question, we decided to keep the information in the user's cookies instead of the session variables. Everything seemed to point to us having exactly that issue, and deadlines being deadlines and with me not being able to figure out how to disable the synchronization of worker processes, this seemed to be a feasible and comparatively easy fix.
Is there a way to check the status of the Nest servers?
They appear to be down right now. Currently I'm checking by firing a GET request to:
https://developer-api.nest.com/?auth=...
Which works fine, I can just set a timeout and check the status codes.
I'm using the Firebase API (OS X) and I'm wondering, maybe there is a better way I can check? I don't see anything in their API. observeEventType:withBlock:withCancelBlock: never gets called.
Also, will the firebase observeEventType: block automatically start being called once the servers are back?
After 2 days the block appears to be lifted. I tried contacting Nest 2 days ago and I never got a reply. Perhaps they lifted the block and didn't reply, or it happened automatically.
I believe I was blocked because I was using my real account, with a real device. And obviously because I was in development I was logging in/out and changing values a lot.
I didn't realise until after the block you can create virtual devices (on a new account). More information here: https://developer.nest.com/documentation/cloud/chrome-extension
Moral of the story: use virtual devices!
I am accessing a Drupal Views feed through xmlrpc. The script has worked in the past and my goal today was solely to access another feed. In theory, there was nothing to do except to change the name of the feed. The endpoint had not changed, my domain had not changed, I can log in to the remote site so my user credentials there are valid.
I am scratching my head as to what may have changed. Is there an obvious question that I have missed? What could have changed on the Drupal end that I should be taking into account?
I can also get a session id for an anonymous user okay.
The failure comes during the complicate authentication (that has worked in the past).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Ah... if anyone else has the same problem, as I worked through my script, printing out its effect at each line, I came across a comment I had made when I wrote it.
Make sure the client and the remote are on the same time, preferably the time provided by www.time.is.
My PC was running a minute slow. The detafult Resynchronise on Windows 7 runs at 1am on a Sunday. Change that to a more sensible time.
And for an immediate fix, change the PC time to within a few seconds of www.time.is.
That was the problem. Authenticated login uses a time stamp. It the remote server regards your time as too inaccurate, it will reject your login. Make sure the client is running with an accurate clock.
