"The token is invalid" on submitting user name

[davidandres-911]

Hi! I hope that this is the right place to ask this question: I'm running an NC 20 installation (intern.ojhs.de). When users want to complete the registration, they receive the mail with the code, when they enter it, they can choose a username and passwort. So far, so good. But when clicking on "register" the are confronted with the error message "Invalid token" and nothing happens. But actually the registration process is complete - when they go back to the login form and enter their data, they can login successfully. Any hints about what problem might lead to that error message and how to change it?

Any help on this would be very welcome!

Thanks in advance, David

Having the same problem. The user is actually added and can login if you go back to login page. But it just tells him The token is invalid.

Same here in a fresh 20 install. Sadly we are moving curently to another auth mechanism and so every User gets this error now.

Unfortunately the problem still persists - has anyone found a workaround?

So actually this is a bug site-effecting from the activity app and should be fixed with https://github.com/nextcloud/activity/pull/541/files

can you confirm this?

[nickvergessen]

Also the bug can only be reproduced with:

1. An admin that has push notifications configured
2. A default group for new users is selected

right?

Thanks for your reply!

Sorry, I don't understand the first post, can you explain that more in detail?

yes, it helps to either deactivate the notifications app, the activity app or change the default group.

unfortunately I realized that when deactivating the activity app, every user (and not only admins) get a notification when a new user registers. I'm pretty sure that this behaviour wasn't that way before installing it.

Closing as per above as this is a bug in the activity app which was solved in the latest maintenance releases
