1282353 - No longer able to log into HBOGO.com: Unsupported authentication issuer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

I am no longer able to log into HBO GO in Nightly 50. I bisected this regression to bug 968273. I don't know if this bug is a dupe of bug 1279955, which is another regression bug filed for bug 968273.

Note: to reproduce this bug you need both an HBO GO and Comcast/Xfinity subscriptions!

STR:
1. Load http://play.hbogo.com/
2. Click the "SIGN IN" link.
3. Click the "xfinity" link, which will load the xfinity.net login page.
4. Log into Xfinity.

RESULT:
Xfinity will redirect the browser back to hbogo.com but instead of logging into HBO GO, Firefox stops on an HTTP 400 Bad Request error with the following JSON payload:

{"message":"Unsupported authentication issuer","status":400,"code":"unsupported_issuer","type":"Error"}

I can not try it out (I am in europe), but maybe bug 1279050 will fix this.
There is a try build that you can try. If it does not fix it, maybe a log would help to diagnose it.

I tested the try build from bug 1279050 comment 11. Unfortunately, it did not fix the login problem. I will send you some log files in email.

Bug 968273 is backed out.

Tracking 50+ to make sure the backout addressed the issue.
