So -
have amazon ecs app using a load balancer set to authenticate against cognito.
Using one of amazon's domains (blah.auth...)
been running fine for ages
suddenly a few hours ago started giving back
err_invalid_response when you tried to login, for that domain/login....
lots of computers at different sites were doing it
then manually changed the address to http:// instead of https://
it gave an error, then redirected to https:// then worked!!!
and now it just works from everywhere
so...
does anyone have any idea what's going on... and more importantly
anyone have any idea how I troubleshoot this? Are there any logs anywhere?
I created this question earlier but was told that it is a DNS issue as apposed to an issue with HSTS. Regardless, here is what I need help troubleshooting:
Issue:
A single site (one that I own), is showing server DNS address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN when I try to connect to it via chrome, firefox, or safari. I can however connect to it via Tor Browser. I can also verify that the address resolves correctly using mxtoolbox. I also am not able to connect via two other computers and two other phones. I also am not able to connect via a different WIFI connection or personal hotspot via my phone. Curl and Host via the command line are also not able to get a response.
What I've tried:
As I said above, I've tried different internet connections and computers. I've also tried flushing my DNS cache and pointing to another DNS server.
Having said that, I am not sure how else to trouble shoot this. The only change I made to the web app was to add HSTS headers, hence why I created the earlier posing. Please let me know what other information I can provide. Otherwise, here are some details about the site itself:
Other information about my stack:
Django web app
Gunicorn / WSGI server
Hosted on Heroku - Cedar-14 stack
DNS setup with AWS route53
domain name registered through AWS

I had the similar issue and was not able to open Facebook. Rest all sites were working fine. Initially, I thought Facebook blocked me as I never faced this crappy issue earlier. Later when I searched in Google, I found an article which described the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN issue on Chrome.
I just changed my DNS server address as 8.8.8.8 (preferred) and 8.8.4.4 (alternate) and I never faced that issue again.

So from our discussion regarding the NS server records always make sure that the local NS records matches the Parent NS records.
In your case there there were 2 extra NS records associated with your domain that was the reason why your domains and sub domains were acting unhealthy. once you deleted those records the domains and sub domains were back to normal.
you can also try to open an anon window
access the url
use it in anon mode
or
close it and it will load ok
I am trying to create a Google sign-in and getting the error:
Permission denied to generate login hint for target domain
Before you mark this a duplicate, this is not the same as the question asked at Google sign in website Error : Permission denied to generate login hint for target domain because in that case the questioner was on localhost, whereas I am getting this error on the server.
Specifically, I have included the url of the server in the Authorized Javascript Origins, as in the following image:
and when I get the error, the request shows that the same url was sent, as in the following image:
Is there something else I should be putting in my Restrictions page? Is there any way to figure out what is going on here? Is there a log at the developer console that can tell me what is happening?
Okay, I figured this out. I was using an IP address (as in "http://175.132.64.120") for the redirect uri, as this was a test site on the live server, and Google only accepts actual urls (as in "http://mycompany.com" or "http://localhost") as redirect uris.
Which, you know, THEY COULD HAVE SAID SOMEWHERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION, but whatever.
I know this is an old question, but it's the first result when you look for the problem via Google, so I'll share my solution with you guys.
When deploying Google OAuth service in a private network, namely some IP that can't be accessed via the Internet, you should use a magic DNS service, like xip.io that will give you an URL that your browser will resolve to your internal IP. You see, Google needs to be able to reach your authorized origin via your browser, that's why setting localhost works if you're serving it on your computer, but it won't work when you're deploying outside the Internet, as in a VPN, intranet, or with a tunnel.
So, the steps:
get your IP address, the one you're deploying at and it's not a public domain, let's say it's 10.0.0.1 as an example.
add http://10.0.0.1.xip.io to your Authorized Javascript Origins on the Google Developer Console.
open your site by visiting http://10.0.0.1.xip.io
clear your cache for the site, if necessary.
Log in with Google, and voilà.
I got to this solution using this answer in another question.
If you are using http://127.0.0.1/projects/testplateform, change it into http://localhost/projects/testplateform, it will work just fine.
If you testing in your machine (locally). then dont use the IP address (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8888) in the Client ID configuration , but use the local host instead and it should work
Example: http://localhost:8888
To allow ip address to be used as valid javascript origin, first add an entry in your /etc/hosts file
10.0.0.1 mydevserver.com
and then add this domain mydeveserver.com in Authorized Javascript Origins. If you are using some nonstandard port, then specify it with your domain in Authorized Javascript Origins.
Note: Remove your cache and it will work.
Just ran across this same issue on an external test server, without a DNS entry yet. If you have permission on your local machine just edit your /etc/hosts file:
175.132.64.120 www.jimboweb.com
And use use http://www.jimboweb.com as an authorized domain.
I have a server in private net, ip 172.16.X.X
The problem was solved with app port ssh-forwarding to my localhost port.
Now I am able to use deployed app with google oauth browsing to localhost.
ssh -N -L8081:localhost:8080 ${user}#${host}
I also add localhost:8081 to "Authorized URI redirect" and "Authorized JavaScript sources" in console.developers.google.com:
google developers console
After battling with it for a few hours, I found out that my config in the Google Cloud console was all correct and similar to the answers provided. Due to caching issues or something, I had to recreate a OAuth Client ID and then it suddenly started working.
Its a pretty old issue, but I encountered it and there wasn't any helpful resource, as such I am posting my solution.
For me the issue was when I hosted my web-app locally, a using google-auth for logging in.
The URL I was trying to hit was :- http://127.0.0.1:8000/master
I just changed from IP to http://localhost:8000/master/
And it worked. I was able to log in to the website using Google Auth.
Hope this helps someone someday.
install xampp and run apache server,
put your files (index and co) in a folder in the xampp dir (c:\xampp\htdocs\yourfolder).
Type this in your browser url - http://localhost/yourfolder/index.html
So we are using the Meteor browser-policy package, and using Amazon S3 to store content.
On the server we have setup the browser policy as follows:
BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll('*.amazonaws.com');
BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll('*.s3.amazonaws.com');
This works fine in local dev and in production when visiting our http:// site. However when using the https:// address to our site the AWS content no longer passes this policy.
The following error is put on the console
Refused to load the image 'http://our-bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/asset-stored-in-s3.png' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src data: 'self' *.google-analytics.com *.zencdn.net *.filepicker.io *.uservoice.com *.amazonaws.com *.s3.amazonaws.com".
As you can see we have some other origins allowed in the browser policy, these all seem to work fine in both http and https. AWS S3 is the only one that is failing.
I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari and they all have the same issue.
Whats going on?
I may not have the exact answer to this question but I have some information which the community may find helpful.
First, you should avoid serving mixed content. I'm unclear if that would set off the browser policy alerts but you just shouldn't do it anyway. The easiest solution is to use a protocol-relative-url or just explicitly specify https in your url.
Second, I too assumed that the wildcard worked like a glob. However, I've been told that it works the same way as an ssl certificate rule - i.e. for all subdomains or for a specific subdomain. In other words, *.example.com and www.example.com, are valid but *.foo.example.com, isn't meaningful. I think you want to explicitly add your bucket like so:
BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll('our-bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com')
unless you literally want to trust all of amazonaws.com.
I have two sites that share the same problem, they are both hosted on Amazon EC2.
The machines are Debian 6.0, with an nginx server in front serving media, and proxying to apache+mod_wsgi to serve django.
Normal navigation on the site works fine, but whenever I click on a link without a trailing slash, or I submit a form, instead of redirecting me to www.domain.com/path/to/page/ I will be shown ip-11-111-11-111/path/to/page/, with ip-11-111-11-111 being my AWS internal IP address. The forms/links are working as the python code is executed, but when the templates are called, the url is 'built' wrong. Setting APPEND_SLASH = True doesn't fix it, and the same behaviour happens with the admin site, so I suspect it is some general issue rather than a bug in my code.
Has anybody encountered this problem? Any suggestions on how to solve it?
I've been googling this for weeks now and still can't figure it out, any ideas on where I should be looking would be appreciated as well.
In case anybody else has the same problem, the issue was apache redirecting non-www sites to the address it was listening on, which was the internal ip. I fixed it by forcing www. in nginx so that apache will never need to redirect.
