Description

While looking at #862, I discovered that I have Unauthorized written in as only text when I try to login from localhost:8443

What I did:

  1. npm run solid init
  2. NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 npm run solid start --no-reject-unauthorized
  3. Create an account
  4. Click on the login button on the Solid Home
  5. Click on Login with localhost:8443

I'm running on node 8.12.0 through nvm and I already accessed that login page from the modal. I have no idea what changed since then.

After further investigations:

  • When I open localhost:8443 in incognito mode, the login page appears
  • When I remove solid-auth-client key from the Local Storage, I can login from the same browser

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flow with npm run solid init and NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 npm run solid start --no-reject-unauthorized, then compare normal and incognito sessions. Inspect the solid-auth-client Local Storage state and the login flow; done means an account created on localhost:8443 can log in without manually removing that key.
