An unexpected error occurred during the authentication process.

[FJBDev]

This is the error message I get when I tried to sign in with GitHub.

An unexpected error occurred during the authentication process.

It works several weeks ago
I still receive emails for the artifacts I bookmarked when I used to be able to log in with my GitHub account but sadly I can't access my list of artifacts or modify it due to this authentication issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi, this is probably due to https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param/.

But, this will be complicated to solve:

• the project is not compiling anymore as OWSI-related dependencies don't seem to be available in the good version in any public repository anymore (this could be solved by rebuilding them from sources from igloo-project repository)
• we use pac4j for authentication. So we should upgrade the version we use (1.7.0) to one that handles new GitHub authentication restrictions... but this would probably cause some compatibility issue with current code, spring-security-pac4j version, ... requiring to upgrade Spring version, so OWSI version, etc...
