Discussed



Greetings folks,

Yesterday's upgrade for Gerrit included a transition to using SSO for login.

Some of you have encountered problems since this switch. Please do the following to get yourself back up to full working conditions:

1) Log out of the web UI.

2) Log into the web UI. The switch did not invalidate ongoing web sessions but it did invalidate the backend groups. The logout and login will re-establish what groups you're part of. This includes the CLAs that you've signed

3) If you use HTTP as your git transport then you must now generate a password token as your LF Account password is no longer recognized. To get this token go to the follow URL

https://gerrit.onap.org/r/settings/#HTTPCredentials

and press the 'Generate New Password' button. Please note that the password displayed is only retrievable when you generate it. If you lose the password you will have to generate a new one!

Update anything using HTTP to use the new password (this includes anything using the REST API)

4) If you get errors when trying to login please open a support ticket at https://support.linuxfoundation.org the transition to SSO has hard enforced case sensitivity and many folks had logged into the system previously with a different case than the backend actually has stored.
We will have to update your gerrit account records to fix this issue for you.

-Andy
