919649 - Mozillians.org - Persona login redirects and doesn't work on iOS 7 Safari

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[Matt Brandt [:mbrandt]]

Authentication appears to briefly work; the user logs in with persona and is redirected to their account (/u/<username>). After initial login the browser redirects again to the logged out view of mozillians.org.

Note:
- reproducible only on iOS 7 Safari
- doesn't reproduce on other persona enabled sites (reps.mozilla.org

Not reproduce:
- iOS 7 Chrome
- iOS 6 Safari/Chrome

Steps to reproduce:
0. goto mozillians.org with an iOS 7 device
1. login using persona

Actual:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq4MPKJNpyo

After authenticating with Persona redirection to the users account occurs. After a brief moment the browser redirects, logs the user out, and presents the logged out homepage.

Expected:
After authenticating with Persona the user should be logged into their mozillians account.

It works for me on an iPad running iOS7 when I enable 3rd party cookies. Please enable 3rd party cookies and try again and let me know if it works.

Thanks!

This is a known issue: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3905

AFAICT, it's not a mozillians bug.

Interesting, good find with the gitissue. I didn't realize this was an issue with bidpom.

Is this patch relevant/usable - https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3905#issuecomment-24870375

Asking users to disable 3rd party cookies isn't a fantastic solution particularly because there is no messaging to users that they should do this.

Looks like we won't need a monkey patch - https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3905 is close to being resolved.

_6a68 ping'd in channel to give us a heads up that a hot fix is going to be shipped shortly.
