Redirect to 'RegisterExternal' page fails when using IE10 #3

Closed Holf closed 10 years ago

Holf commented 10 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

Set application up to use Google Authentication (uncomment appropriate line in Startup.Auth).
Ensure any existing users are removed from the Database.
Start IE10 and ensure all cookies are deleted to eradicate any previously cached Google Credentials.
Start application.
Browse to Homepage using IE10.
Click on 'Or Login With: Google' button.
Enter some Google Credentials into the resulting Popup and click 'Sign in'.

EXPECTED RESULT

Authentication Popup closes.
Application redirects to 'RegisterExternal' page.

ACTUAL RESULT

Authentication Popup closes.
Application remains on 'Login' page.

Further information:

This happens both locally and when deployed to Azure.
Having done this once, subsequent attempts to 'Ligin with: Google' cause the Authentication Popup to appear and then disappear, implying the Google Authentication part has actually worked (indeed, browsing to other Google-secured sites work fine without requiring authentication, confirming this is the case).

@Holf after quite a bit of testing and some research it looks like most browsers other than Chrome don't allow the popup window to write back to the window opener after a redirect :(

I added the ability to not use popups and it seems to work without any issues. Popups are now disabled by default.
