Windows Phones with Persona

[satdav]

it seems on bugzilla what their is a issue with windows phone using persona when you login on bugzilla it keeps you logged out

I would like QA to verify this

steps to repoduce it

goto bugzillla.mozilla.org
Click on login
press the persona button
enter your persona details then click login
it takes you back to the main screen not logged in

this was done on a mozilla.org.uk email address on windows phone 8

[satdav]

this issue happened on windows phone 8 on the internet explorer browser

Upstream issue. Bugzilla is neutering the Observer API by ignoring all automatic invocations of the onlogin callback. Thus, when the redirect flow returns to Bugzilla and tries to pass in an assertion, the login callback ignores it.

Relevant snippet from Bugzilla's code:

var persona_ignore_login = true;

function persona_onlogin(assertion) {
  if (persona_ignore_login)
    return;
    var form = document.createElement('form');
    form.action = 'https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/index.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1';
    form.method = 'POST';
    form.style.display = 'none';

    createHidden('token', '1383815312-d64fe2f99f15860be6ad647efa3b0a2c', form);
    createHidden('Bugzilla_remember', 'on', form);
    createHidden('persona_assertion', assertion, form);

        createHidden('GoAheadAndLogIn', '1', form);

    document.body.appendChild(form);
    form.submit();
}

YAHOO.util.Event.on(window, 'load', persona_init);
function persona_init() {
  navigator.id.watch({

    loggedInUser: null,
    onlogin: persona_onlogin,
    onlogout: function () {

    }
  });
}

function persona_sign_in() {
  persona_ignore_login = false;
  navigator.id.request({ siteName: 'Bugzilla\x40Mozilla' });
}

We should file an upstream bug once the Goldilocks API lands in production.

@callahad when is that planned for production

[callahad]

We've run into unexpected issues deploying. Given other QA / Ops constraints, it will likely not happen until February. :(

@callahad Hi Dan do you know if this has been added yet as still not working for bmo

[jaredhirsch]

@satdav We certainly hope to get a release out in the next 1-2 weeks, but there's no firm timeline, because Persona maintenance is now only done outside work time. If you want to keep up-to-date on our progress, maybe subscribe to the dev-identity list :-)

Has there been any action here? Is there a fix outside of upgrading persona for MDN?

[jaredhirsch]

@darkwing we've gotten a few releases out since my last comment, but I don't have a windows phone to try to repro the bug. Is there a corresponding bug against MDN?

[jaredhirsch]

@darkwing Ah, I should have finished reading the rest of my bugmail ;-)

Looks like #2009 got bumped, corresponding to mdn/kuma#2826.

I'm not actively working on Persona right now, maybe @callahad has other info

Hi! To help us better focus, I'm "closing" all issues that have been open for more than six months. These have been tagged "cleanup-2014" so that we can go back and review them in the future.
