I'm trying to get in and create a slice and it's just spinning forever on "Get user credential: Sent request". I forgot the password to my ssl cert, so created a new one today, but I don't think it's the problem, if I enter a wrong password it errors out immediately, but when I use the correct one I get this issue. I've tried this on multiple machines and browsers with the same result.

Can you provide us a few more details? Are you using the standalone copy (http://protogeni.net/flack), or one embedded in the GENI portal (or someplace else)? If you’re using the former, what facility (Emulab, etc.) is your account on?

This will help us determine what version of Flack you’re using, and what SA it’s hanging on.

Thanks!

I’m using the one at www.protogeni.net/flack and my credentials are from Emulab. I’ve tried both v14.100 and v17.26 with the same result. I’ve never had this problem before, but it’s been a few months since I last ran an experiment.

thanks

I'm having the same problem. My credentials are also from emulab.net and I'm using http://protogeni.net/flack

I'll have some time to look into this tomorrow and try using my own Emulab
account.

Thanks, I’m able to reproduce it now, which will help us a lot on tracking it down.

Just to add here, all PG -KY users had been complaining about the same
issue here too when using their KY-PG user accounts. For it looked like
the communication to the CH may be failing, thus preventing other stuff
from proceeding.

cheers,

Hi,

What's the status of this fix? We have a thread on geni-...@googlegroups.com [1] with the same issue.

Thanks,
Sarah

Our attempts to debug it are ongoing. It has been a huge pain to debug, as the problem seems to occur during SSL negotiation. We’re still working on it.

Ugh. That does sound painful.

Keep us posted,
Sarah

Sara, we have applied a temporary fix. We now know the proximate cause and
we know that it tickles a bug that was hiding in Forge. We will continue
to look into a permanent fix. But the Utah ProtoGENI installation is now
available to Flack users again.
