I'm using DotNetOpenAuth with a MVC 4 application. All the sudden Google auth is failing (MS is working). The stock code does this:
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult ExternalLoginCallback(string returnUrl)
{
var result = OAuthWebSecurity.VerifyAuthentication(Url.Action("ExternalLoginCallback", new { ReturnUrl = returnUrl }));
if (!result.IsSuccessful)
{
return RedirectToAction("ExternalLoginFailure");
}
I know that result.IsSuccessful
is false, but how do I get the reason? result.Error
is null.
I also looked at this page to use log4net. I do get a log on the local dev box but not when I deploy it to a remote server.
log4net webconfig:
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="RelyingParty.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<rollingStyle value="Size" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<staticLogFileName value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date (GMT%date{%z}) [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<!-- Setup the root category, add the appenders and set the default level -->
<root>
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
</root>
<!-- Specify the level for some specific categories -->
<logger name="DotNetOpenAuth">
<level value="ALL" />
</logger>
</log4net>
Edit I also tried log4net to a sql db but it still didn't log anything
I finally figured this out. The actual error message I was getting:
Protocol error: This message has a timestamp of 10/23/2012 12:19:33 PM,
which is beyond the allowable clock skew for in the future.
Turns out after a server crash the timezone didn't get set correctly. This caused the validation/token to fail from google's end.
The AdoNetAppender
was "not working" because bufferSize
was set to 100. After setting it to 1 it started getting logs. Here is the adonetappender I'm using
<log4net>
<appender name="AdoNetAppender" type="log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender">

You should set the bufferSize
back to 100 when you get your issue worked out.
