Unable to access internal SAS company resources while this Chrome extension is enabled #4910

Closed Pysis868 closed 5 years ago

Pysis868 commented 8 years ago

This extension has been interfering with our access to internal company resources. I am unable to say whether this worked before and I suddenly encountered the problem 'one day', or if after a Chrome profile sync, I finally received this extension and it would have always failed earlier if installed then.

Namely, I experience an error when navigating to any internal resource web page, which redirects me to the login screen. Once logging in, I receive this error:

https://swwopenam.sas.com/opensso/UI/Login?realm=/sww&goto=http%3A%2F%2Fsww.sas.com%2F net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

It is possible something should be done to this authentication service URL in the extension by modifying the SAS_Institute.xml ruleset file.

I have also received other problems, such as accessing the internal wiki, encountering that same redirect error, but eventually landing on the correct page, and having the stylesheets not load. I have not singled out the cause of the problem yet, but it would be the result of not loading or running a script correctly that would make the proper stylesheet requests. It runs MediaWiki.

Thanks for the report. Is there a way to reproduce this problem using a public URL?

Can't reproduce using the URL in the issue. No extension maintainer had account for SAS intranet. Issue opened in 2016. Closing.
