Get automatically re-logged-in without
I have a problem with loggin in to NSS that it assumes which user I want to be instead of waiting for me to type it in. For example whenever I log in with inrupt.net it logs me in as timblBOT.inrupt.net not timbl. @jaxoncreed Not sure where to report that. I guess it is a problem with the current auth code which noone is working on, presumably — though who knows it may carry through to the next version too.
Tim Berners-Lee: Yes @RubenVerborgh it looks like a cookie problem that it sees the cookie and just grabs it. But if I explicitly log out it should delete the cookie surely
Ruben Verborgh: Indeed, that is what NSS should do.
Tim Berners-Lee @timbl 13:06 Suppose I try delete cookies > log out > … weird the log out button doesn’t do anything. well not surprising it should break solidos as I didn’t tell it I logged out by myself. But I can reload the page which then takes me to a logged out state, then I can go log in > select inrupt -> then I have a choice of user. So the problem seems to be that NSS doesn’t delete all Local Storage and Cookies on logout?
I’ll file it as an NSS bug then.
I suggest it is good to delete ALL local storage and ALL cookies for the domain partly form privacy and partly to help move on to the next version of the auth protocol which may format these things differently.
(Id also noticed that when just logging in again from my phone it was handy that the one stage of the process was skipped as it made it faster.)
There's a cookie on your pod user.solidcommunity.net but also one on the IDP, solidcommunity.net root domain. Logout should clear both. But it's not clear what authority the pod UI app has to log you out if your IDP.
If your identities would use different IDPs then they wouldn't clash. But then you would also likely have to type in longer IDP names (instead of one-click for "Solid Community") in the login dialog
The thing to do (work-around) is to visit the IDP url https://solidcommunity.net, and logout/login there. After that, logging in to https://user.solidcommunity.net will present you with a username/password dialog
