Authentication not working #159

Closed rhamblen closed 6 months ago

rhamblen commented 8 months ago

I have been working with applestrudel (and its predecessors ) for years. I recently rebuilt my unraid system and lots my cookie file. Because we can no longer go into alexa.amazon.com (in my case .co.uk), I cant get a copy of the cookie.

Any ideas how to get the cookie or authenticate when we dont have a cookie?

When I try to use the authentication settings, I get "Not Tokens in register response" as an error. Thanks R.

I may be having a similar issue. While I have my alexa.txt file that holds the cookie info, it doesn't seem to be working any longer. Whether the file is there or not, when I try to log in by going to homeassistantIP:3456 (node blink with message saying to do so), it says Cookie retrieved successfully but it doesn't stick. In other words, as soon as I trigger any Alexa routine it goes back to telling me to log in again.

Any suggestions?

I just noticed that the path to the amazon.txt file has changed... the addon config folder is in a different location. I am trying to adjust the path from /config/node-red/amazon.txt to /addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered/amazon.txt but it is not working. I wonder what the correct relative path is... and whether this is the issue.

Discord user @wallberjunior gave me the solution... and my integration is working again. The issue is due to the node-red config folder having been moved.

The cookie file path is: /config/node-red/amazon.txt and config seems to be symlinked to /addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered/ (@wallberjunior mentioned he could not write directly to this location) so the solution is to create a new node-red sub-folder and put the amazon.txt file in there.

Resulting file path is: /addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered/node-red/amazon.txt

move amazon.txt folder to a new folder called node-red created inside the new
