I've tried to set up an implicit authorization workflow with JavaScript SDK version 2.0:

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://api.stackexchange.com/js/2.0/all.js'></script>

I was using localhost with other parameters set up properly. Two bugs related to SE.authenticate appeared:

1. Users who have not logged in before get stuck at login_success

After the user enters his login/password at https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog?..., he encounters:

Application Login Failure
An error occurred while login into an application.

Error Details

error description: could not parse proxy url

at another https://stackexchange.com/oauth/dialog?....

Solution: Clicking on "Run Example With Version" (the one that calls SE.authenticate) button again. The second time, being logged in, it redirects properly and authorizes the client.

2. SE.authenticate ignores the port

I run index.html with Stack Exchange authentication on localhost:8080. Bug 1 appears again. But now calling SE.authenticate second time doesn't work. The process stops on https://stackexchange.com/oauth/login_success?... page saying Authorizing Application.

The console says:

Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('http://localhost') does not match the recipient window's origin ('http://localhost:8080').

Solution: Switching back to localhost(:80).

These solutions don't address the issues directly. The problems will persist until JS SDK is fixed.

  • I have similar issues it seems. I am using apache Oltu library to setup the oauth code flow, the authorization code is being requested. But the redirection url is: localhost/seredirect/?code="code". if I manually add localhost:8444 then the whole workflow gets completed. How do I solve this problem? Mar 10, 2018 at 17:33
