Client authentication failed due to unknown client #9

Closed laserswald closed 6 years ago

laserswald commented 6 years ago

When navigating to the URL given by the mastodon_oauth bot, my Mastodon instance refuses to give an authentication key with the message:

Client authentication failed due to unknown client, no client authentication included, or unsupported authentication method.

I’m afraid you will have to ask your instance admin about this. I didn’t know that Mastodon limited access to known clients so I assume this is a particular setting of your instance.

If they then ask you for the name of the client, I guess it would be bitlbee-mastodon based on init_plugin_info in mastodon.c.

Thanks. I'll message him.

@laserswald Did you resolve this?

laserswald commented 6 years ago

No, I didn't, it slipped my mind. I just messaged him now, though.

kensanata commented 6 years ago

As there doesn't seem to be any way for me to do anything about it so I will close this issue. If the problem is with the plugin, feel free to reopen.

I'm having this issue on the Mastodon.social instance.

resolved it with this https://github.com/kensanata/bitlbee-mastodon/issues/36#issuecomment-546344101 basically just had to delete account to generate new token for my instance.
