Does that mean you'd expect "Create account" not to create an account?
This is caused by Gerrits SOP that it has a self contained user authentication system. Unfortunately there isn't a way for us to remove the 'create account' link even though we are using a different authentication system. -M. > Unfortunately there isn't a way for us to remove the 'create account' link The issue isn't the presence of the "Create account" link. It is the failure of the link to do what it says. And that failure is surely not the fault of Gerrit. The link lands on an eclipse page https://accounts.eclipse.org which doesn't create a new account when logged in. The fix is surely to land on a page that does. > RESOLVED NOT_ECLIPSE Both are incorrect. This is not resolved, and this is in Eclipse, at least by one of the seemingly many meanings that word has around here.

So if I understand, you'd like the 'create account' link which correctly redirects to our account portal, to allow you to create a new account, even though you are already logged in to an existing account? > Both are incorrect.

Well closed/resolved tend to be used interchangeably, and since this workflow is working as I expect it to that implies the issue isn't here. -M. > So if I understand, you'd like I'm not offering a personal preference. > the 'create account' link which correctly redirects to our account portal, I don't see anything correct about a create account link that doesn't create an account. > to allow you to create a new account, even though you are already logged in to > an existing account? This page does not agree that I'm already logged in with an existing account. It says "Sign in" (not Sign out/Log out) and when I launch a command that I'd expect to require a log-in (Reply) it asks me to Sign In )Log in). > Well closed/resolved tend to be used interchangeably That doesn't accord with the stated procedure. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_status RESOLVED A resolution has been performed, and it is awaiting verification by QA. From here bugs are either reopened and given some open status, or are verified by QA and marked VERIFIED. > and since this workflow is working as I expect it to I'm disappointed to hear anyone would expect this failure. |
