Hello,

I'm running into issues with my redirects when hosting my Orcid integration inside of AWS Amplify. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried using AWS for their integration and if they might have some idea of what is happening. Here are some pictures of what is happening when hosting from AWS Amplify:

Here are my redirects:

Here is what happens when I try to redirect to

https://master.d1mm5pvnsxz7da.amplifyapp.com/access/

If I change the source address to / like all the others here is what I get:

If anyone has experience with these issues or knows what is going on please let me know.

Thank you in advance,

Trevor

Hi Trevor!

Thanks for all the details provided.

From what we can see in the screenshots, these error messages seem to be happening from the AWS side. ORCID API is not receiving these requests.

However, we've done some research about this and the "502 error" message seems to be an issue regarding the SSL/TLS negotiation. The second "Access denied" error seems to be an issue with the bucket policy on your AWS settings.

Please, check out these resources that you might find useful here:

- Regarding the Access denied / XML error:

I hope that this information is useful and you're able to fix it. In any case, we'll be waiting for your updates on this.

Thanks!

I got it working by using documentation related to single-page web apps and changing my redirect URL. Here is a link to the information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/redirects.html

Now I'm having a separate issue where it only updates my database with a user's access tokens and other metadata after they click my link more than once. This is a separate issue, perhaps I should start a new forum post.
