error=provider debug

[nathar83]

Hello Everyone,

I started using spring social for my web app. Twitter and Facebook signin is working fine but I have an issue
with the linkedin and the error=provider error message after a successful login.

I've found this entry somewhere

If any error occurs while fetching the request token, <classname>ProviderSignInController</classname> will redirect to the application's sign in URL.
The request to the sign in URL will have an "error" query parameter set to "provider" to indicate an error occurred while communicating with the provider.

But is not helping me to much.

I suspect a possible error in the LinkedInTemplate constructor...

return linkedin != null ? linkedin.getApi() : new LinkedInTemplate("twertwret","erfregwertwert",linkedin.createData().getAccessToken(),linkedin.createData().getSecret());

maybe I am not getting the accessToken and secret back from the login?

Any ideas will be very helpfull.

Ok I figured out what was going on. One major issue is the error message that is totally misleading you.

The problem was on the user_connection table where my linkedin entry was inserted with user_id=0
I am not sure how this mechanism works but seems like the social accounts with the same email are getting
the same user_id. At the moment I manually changed the id to play with the api but the issue was in the
entry on the user_connection table.

Yes, I've been made aware of non-provider errors being manifested as error=provider parameters. I've created https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SOCIAL-308 to address this.
