Hello Marshal,

First I would point you towards the ORCID integration documentation to double check your setup, especially the configuration section and the details under "I'm unable to authenticate via ORCID" in the troubleshooting steps.  

One possible reason for this error is if your email is not set to "public" or "shared with third parties" in your ORCID account - see this past thread
Here is another past thread that you could check. 

Otherwise, more information would be needed to narrow down the error so I would recommend posting a full stack trace from your logs, beyond the one line.  
Hope that helps to start!
Lia
