Hello Everyone,
I've successfully been using the Nextcloud plugin for GNOME's Online
Accounts feature for a long time. Recently I upgraded to Fedora 37 and
the Nextcloud integration stopped working because the authentication
is failing.
I tried deleting the account and recreating it without success. The
same "Authentication failed" message appears after I click connect.
Yes, authentication to Nextcloud works otherwise. I can login from the
iOS app and from the website.
I don't see any errors in the Nextcloud or Apache logs. I also don't
see any errors in Fedora. Running the online accounts app in the
foreground didn't output anything to the terminal. I have no idea
what's broken down.
Is anyone else successfully this feature in GNOME on Fedora 37?
I don't use this feature, but this sure sounds like the effect of the
increased security. I think it was F37 when certain older security
protocols were made inactive because they had been compromised by
researchers. You could try
update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY
as root to see if that fixes the issue. If it does, then you could set
the legacy to log in and then
update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT
to return to the increased security. You should probably let the site
know that they are using deprecated security protocols, too.
If it doesn't work, you can check the logs after a failure,
journalctl -r
to see if there are any messages about why it is failing.
