Description

Description:

If you sign in through a custom OAuth (in my case, Auth0.com), the "Profile" page doesn't load when you click "My Account." "Security" and "Localization" do work, but clicking "Profile" doesn't do a thing.

Of course, many details of the user are loaded through the OAuth provider (and should be managed this way), but without the ability to change Real Name (for example), this is a problem.

Server Setup Information:
  • Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.59.3
  • Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.3
  • Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc): tar
  • Number of Running Instances: 1

Research direction

The issue names no source file or test; begin at the My Account > Profile entry point and reproduce the failure with a custom OAuth provider such as Auth0. Compare it with the working Security and Localization pages, then verify that Profile loads and allows supported user details such as Real Name to be managed.
