First time signup and login problems

[Bjarke42]

When I'm a new user, never signed up nor logged in, using a new cleared browser press login instead of signup the first time, I will not be able to press signup afterwards and be signed up.

Instead it fails and and as a fix I will have to clear my browser. Then first press signup followed by login to gain access to ERDA.

I believe this is related to autologout not solving the problem.

Please fix this so that users who press login before they are signed up will not have to know about clearing the browser. This might cause confusion.

Thanks. Can you please provide a few more details about what exactly happens when you do try to sign up after such a log in. Including what happens if you follow the instructions given on any resulting error page. This is where autologout.py should kick in to break the partially logged in cookie-stalemate.

As hinted in another context the underlying issue can hopefully be eliminated once we finish OpenID Connect integration, because that auth method always carries the necessary ID token to identify and create missing users on-demand.

Please check if the February 27th commits to edge (ce2d190) and experimental (7ca6975) fixed the issue. I.e. check if it's still a problem with any later version.

I have tested this for a user that is not existing in the system. First do a login, which progresses normal until it finds that the person is not in the system. The try signup that fails as it does before.

Looking at your log it does not look like a valid sign up request. AFAICT you try to use the original external openid 2.0 signup through autocreate, but have no external openid 2.0 Identity Provider (IDP) associated.
You need to point the sign up (html form) to your Openid Connect IDP or use the https://SID_VHOST/cgi-sid/signup.py sign up helper unless you have a valid OpenID 2.0 IDP, that can deliver the requested SReg user attributes.
