SSO login breaks, probably depending on characters in Cloudron Name
-
Hello,
this is not urgent but maybe of interest: Using the new Branding features we set Cloudron Name to
my. / Cloudron. Some time after this change we noticed that the SSO login of our Striling PDF instance (Version 1.6.0; stirlingpdf.frooodle.cloudronapp@2.44.0) was not working anymore. After the second click on the actual SSO service you are returned to the inital login page and not logged in. Changing the Cloudron Name to e.g.my.odermy. (Cloudron)the problem is resolved.This may be specific to Stirling PDF or maybe a more general effect? I btw noticed the Cloudron Name string is capitalized in Stirling PDF's SSO, at least the first character; you are e.g. preseted with
My..Kind regards and as always thank you very much for your great work!

Hello @semaphor
Thanks for the report.
Bad news is @stirling-pdf does no longer support OIDC in the 'free' tier.
So a fresh installation of the new @stirling-pdf app will not even have OIDC. -
Hello @james,
thanks for the info. A bit sad to hear and an unconvenience, but of course not in your hands. Without looking any further at @stirling-pdf's announcements (!) this feels like another enshittification.
So, I'm fine and will adapt our services. Hope the problem with specific characters in the Cloudron Name string will not pop up with other apps Otherwise I'll let you know.
Thank you very much! -

Thank you very much!@semaphor Therefore, stay on 1.6, or look for alternatives.
The formerly free project has developed negatively and should become a money printing machine for those responsible. and I say no. -
I just have my instance completely open.
But just thinking aloud surely it'd be possible to have the same but behind Cloudron proxy auth?

@jdaviescoates Typically, I am hoping that this is the kind of situation that the upcoming VPN-per-app feature (that Cloudron @staff mentioned) will solve.
That or the possibility to have a Cloudron proxyAuth in front of a publicly accessible Cloudron app (see here, here and here for example).
Remains to see with what timing this addition is conceivable - but I am hopeful since this is part of @girish's wishlist.
With all this said, I remain troubled by the way changes are brought/handled into/by @stirling-pdf and thus am not recommending it anymore at this stage.
