Authentication issue: unable to access profile page.

[boser87]

The script is not working for SSO. I used several methods to pass the needed cookie with cookies.json, none of them worked. For example, I copied only the orm-jwt cookie and pasted with json format and did not work.

[cipri-tom]

The JSON needs to be stripped from everything else. For me, it works with just the following 3 cookies:

{
    "groot_sessionid": "8tjtl...",
    "orm-jwt": "eyJhbGciO...",
    "orm-rt": "eead..."
}

I got the same error. I am using library card, and must login through library website. Library is running and web proxy forward all request to safari. I am not sure if cookies.json is being consumed or the file just sitting there and doing nothing.

Error message

Authentication issue: unable to access profile page.
Aborting...

For me, this is the URL to view profile page Although, the link is different, the site just looks identical to a normal safari book site

https://learning-oreilly-com.ezproxy.library.com/profile/

My browser cookie looks like this, it is very different than safari cookie, so I created cookies.json

{
   "_gcl_au":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_clck":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "SMSESSION":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_uetsid":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_uetvid":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_gat_UA-112091926-1":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_mkto_trk":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_clsk":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_ga_ZMQH4QCXDQ":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "amp_49f7a6":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_ga":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_gid":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
   "_dd_s":"XXXXXXXXXXX"
}

I also replace ORLY_BASE_HOST and SAFARI_BASE_HOST

PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
COOKIES_FILE = os.path.join(PATH, "cookies.json")

ORLY_BASE_HOST = "ezproxy.library.com"  # PLEASE INSERT URL HERE

SAFARI_BASE_HOST = "learning-oreilly-com." + ORLY_BASE_HOST
API_ORIGIN_HOST = "api." + ORLY_BASE_HOST

ORLY_BASE_URL = "https://www." + ORLY_BASE_HOST
SAFARI_BASE_URL = "https://" + SAFARI_BASE_HOST
API_ORIGIN_URL = "https://" + API_ORIGIN_HOST
PROFILE_URL = SAFARI_BASE_URL + "/profile/"

@scout249 it seems that the request is not following the 302 redirection. Not sure if this is intended, maybe try to see if you can figure out where that call is made and set it to follow redirections.

In my opinion, you probably don't need to replace the base URL. You can use the proxied version in your browser to get the cookies when visiting the link quoted in the error message: https://login.ezproxy.library.com/login?qurl=https://learning.oreilly.com%2fprofile%2f .

[scout249]

@cipri-tom After reviewing the source code, if the return is not 200, application will exit. I have also try leave the base URL unchange, but it won't work.

After running the command, and examine log file, it shows the login screen of EZProxy, it seem that the cookie is not being utilized.

I'm having similar issues but my public library

Same EZProxy appears in the cookies. I tried the above and wasn't able to make it work. I'm not a dev so not exactly sure what i'm doing but wanted to add my issue to this as it seems related. The different public libraries use different urls and seem they use a proxy to connect to the safari library

Hopefully there is a way to add support for public libraries in the future. Thank you to the developers!!! ❤

If there is any information I can gather to help you guys please let me know how and i'll add it here.

This is what shows up after logging in with my library account.

Which then takes me to this address:

https://learning-oreilly-com.rpa.sccl.org/home/

I'm using my library card as well. I was able to be authenticated by replacing the appropriate ORLY_BASE_HOST, SAFARI_BASE_HOST, and API_ORIGIN_HOST.

@scout249 You might want to double-check your API_ORIGIN_HOST. Here's my config:

ORLY_BASE_HOST = "ezproxy.library.ca"  # PLEASE INSERT URL HERE
SAFARI_BASE_HOST = "learning-oreilly-com." + ORLY_BASE_HOST
API_ORIGIN_HOST = "api-oreilly-com." + ORLY_BASE_HOST

[scout249]

@mingma-tr I am able to authenticate with my library card now.

@mingma-tr thanks so much, this also worked for me with SFPL!
