Getting stuck on signinRedirectCallback

[benitazz]

I'm working on angular 10, implemented the auth service which works most of the time but occasionally getting stuck on login screen:

Error - > error: "invalid_grant"
error_description: "The specified authorization code is invalid."

Not sure why it works and suddently it stops working.

// config
const stsSettings = {
authority: ${this.ssoissuer}/auth,
client_id: environment.ssoclientid,
redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signin-callback,
scope: 'openid email profile offline_access',
response_type: 'code',
post_logout_redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signout-callback,
revokeAccessTokenOnSignout: true,
automaticSilentRenew: false,
silent_redirect_uri: ${this.host}/assets/silent-callback.html
};

// AuthService complete login which seems to have a problem from time to time
public completeLogin(): Promise {
return this.userManager.signinRedirectCallback().then(user => {
this.user = user;
this.loginChangedSubject.next(!!user && !user.expired);
return user;
});
}

It looks like the code gets trimmed for some reason.

Please check the Code on the URL:

Yea, URLs or proxies sometimes limit URL length. Nothing this library can do about that.

[ARM-Source]

How did you fix this issue?

[benitazz]

I have closed the issue because of the this comment: "Yea, URLs or proxies sometimes limit URL length. Nothing this library can do about that."

Actually I found out that the issue is not because the code is getting discarded, the library removes the state when sending back to the server which works fine on localhost but as soon as I point to https on the test server then thats when it works and sometimes it does not work.

My solution:
I ended up implementing the token flow which I'm not happy with because is not as secured as code flow

Thank you for responding!

[brockallen]

Actually I found out that the issue is not because the code is getting discarded, the library removes the state when sending back to the server which works fine on localhost but as soon as I point to https on the test server then thats when it works and sometimes it does not work.

Well, there must be a reason the state is not being accessed properly. Is it possible that user starts on http but ends up on https on the callback? That's a common mistake.

[ARM-Source]

Do you know where I could specifically check for this in the related question #1325?

[ARM-Source]

@benitazz Can you share the configuration on the IDP and client for the token flow? With "Token Flow" do you mean implicit flow?

[benitazz]

Yes, I mean the implicit flow. Below is my configuration for Implicit flow:

const stsSettings = {
authority: ${this.ssoissuer}/auth,
client_id: environment.ssoclientid,
redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signin-callback,
scope: 'oidc account email profile offline_access api',
response_type: 'token',
post_logout_redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signout-callback,
oidc: true,
};

But this does not work if I put the openid on the scope, its start asking about nonce and error after error.

[benitazz]

This is the IDP that is working and sometimes it does not work:

const stsSettings = {
authority: ${this.ssoissuer}/auth,
client_id: environment.ssoclientid,
redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signin-callback,
scope: 'openid email profile offline_access api',
response_type: 'code',
post_logout_redirect_uri: ${this.host}/signout-callback,
oidc: true,
};

[rvjaywaks]

I have same issue. I have a 50% signinRedirectCallback success and 50% failed.
