# 00:12 aaronpk Actual cause is unknown but somehow he got there and the cookie was not set # 00:13 GWG I got that problem before. The cookie expiration was being set with an improper time # 00:19 GWG Although I think I should replace current_time with time # 00:23 [miklb] why is there a cookie being set? I must have missed something # 00:27 aaronpk That's a good question actually, GWG why is it storing the authorization endpoint in a cookie? # 00:28 aaronpk Shouldn't it know that from the wordpress settings? # 00:28 GWG aaronpk: pfefferle did that, remember?

# 00:29 GWG There was an issue about keeping the endpoint data on redirect, so you and he added the cookie to store it # 00:33 GWG I didn't come up with the idea myself. # 00:33 GWG I implemented it because you two suggested it. # 00:34 aaronpk I forgot about trying to log in to a wordpress site with a different IndieAuth server # 00:34 Loqi [aaronpk] (also the better solution is to store the endpoint in the session when you start to avoid needing to look it up again) # 00:48 [miklb] [colinwalker] your post to Drafts action requires the basic auth plugin, have you tested it with the new IndieAuth plugin? # 00:49 [miklb] !tell [colinwalker] your post to Drafts action requires the basic auth plugin, have you tested it with the new IndieAuth plugin? # 00:49 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next [manton] joined the channel

# 07:50 [pfefferle] that was my “hack” to make it work with a different auth server… never thought it would be merged without changes 🙂 sebsel, Zegnat[web], tantek, [jeremycherfas], [sebsel], [tantek], [kim_landwehr], [eddie], [unoabraham] and [colinwalker] joined the channel

# 17:19 [miklb] my understand is that was one of the benefits of the indieauth plugin is that it could be used to auth the REST API # 17:20 [miklb] I haven’t done anything with REST API auth so I’m not sure of the process. But I’m very curious # 18:01 GWG You just have to send in a bearer token rotozeev, [chrisaldrich] and davidmead joined the channel
# 19:40 davidmead I just updated the WP IndieAuth plugin and now I don’t have a ‘Users > Manage Tokens’ in my WP menu. Is that correct? [colinwalker] joined the channel
# 19:40 [colinwalker] @GWG thanks. Forgive me if I’m being stupid but I’m getting “Your have entered a valid Domain, but you have no account on this blog.” How do I associate the domain to an existing WP account? # 19:40 GWG davidmead: If you aren't using the local endpoint, it will no longer show # 19:40 GWG davidmead: It is only useful if you do. # 19:40 GWG [colinwalker]: Add the URL to your user profile? # 19:41 davidmead Ah, ok GWG. I’m still trying to figure out the issues with no micropub endpoint in my WP # 19:43 GWG I hope we can figure out any issues and fix them # 19:43 GWG [colinwalker]: Interesting. There is a simpler way. If you have the Indieweb plugin, and set your site to single author mode there, it will map that way # 19:45 GWG [colinwalker]: You shouldn't, but it is a good way to troubleshoot # 19:46 GWG We've found a few issues we want to tighten up where it doesn't work for everyone # 19:46 davidmead GWG yeah. i don’t know why everything just stopped working a month or so ago # 19:47 GWG davidmead: That's when I added the local endpoint # 19:48 davidmead GWG do you think I should strip out all the meta links I have on davidjohnmead.com/index.html ? # 19:49 davidmead wonder if those are causing a conflict when you get to davidjohnmead.com/blog which is the WP part # 19:49 GWG davidmead: Meta links I can't see why. # 19:49 [colinwalker] GWG Looks like that worked, it logged me in but I don’t see Manage Tokens. # 19:53 davidmead GWG I’m getting to that “burn-it-all-down-and-start-afresh” point ;-) # 19:53 GWG [colinwalker]: What setting do you have under General? # 19:54 GWG Then you should see Manage Tokens under your user name. # 19:55 GWG [colinwalker]: It's possible. How limited? # 19:57 GWG [colinwalker]: To see it, you need the 'read' capability which allows you access to the dashboard and user profile settings # 19:58 GWG But, do you need to Manage Tokens? # 20:00 [colinwalker] Was under the impression I’d need to see it to use it elsewhere. If not what do I pass as the bearer token & in what format? # 20:02 GWG colinwalker, you can't see the bearer token # 20:02 GWG You'd need to request one using an IndieAuth flow. # 20:03 GWG Although issuing them manually is not a bad feature request # 20:03 GWG Once generated, they are not stored, only a hash of them is. # 20:04 [colinwalker] Ah. Got to try to figure out how to do that in javascript within Drafts then. # 20:07 GWG Try Gimmeatoken if you want to test davidmead joined the channel
