1.1 | 1 | There is a known issue in the Collaboratory 2.0 Drive. |
| 2 | |||
| 3 | When opening a link to a file in Drive, the browser displays the user's homepage in Drive instead of opening the linked file. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The issue is due to a bug in the integration of Seafile (the tool used to implement Collaboratory.drive) with OIDC (user authentication). | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The workaround for the time being is either: | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * to open the Drive once before following the link, or | ||
| 10 | * to click on the link a second time | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | The Collaboratory team has mitigated the problem by extending the Drive cookie to the duration of the browser session (max 12 hours). | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | The latest version of Seafile fixes this issue. Its integration in the Collaboratory is planned for 2020. |
