A user attempted to access their "Your Uploaded Data" through the link https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/userBrowseServlet , which requires a "vetted" login session. In this case, however, the user signed on with an Orcid, which provides only an "authenticated" session. The user is repeatedly sent back to the login page without any indication that the type of login being used is not sufficiently privileged to access the "Your Uploaded Data" web page.

It's been a while since I logged in at EDI and I've since moved to a new computer. Somewhere along the line, I've lost my login info. I can log on via my orcid account, but then when I try to go to my uploaded datasets, it bumps me back to login and wants username and password, both of which I've lost track of.

The "Your Uploaded Data" (and likely the "Your Data Cart") web page(s) should notify users that only a "vetted" login session (one with an LDAP account) is required.
