+sloth96 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 gsak users are complaining about authentication issues on their forum and on facebook. Project-gc.com is also having problems as well and posted on facebook about it. It appears to have happened around 7AM ET. Quote Link to comment
+Arnos99 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 It affects to all apps/programs that uses the Api. Quote Link to comment
+sloth96 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 With different security settings and network caching some people seem to not be having problems. It has not hit the apps on my android device. cachetur.no seems to be able to pull from the API. Commentary on facebook seems to suggest it is an expired certificate somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 +1. Sadly, on a weekend when there's no frog handy to jump on the reset button. GSAK unhappy. Can't get a token. If I were setting up a cache run for today, I'D be really unhappy. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Just tried to refresh a cache in GSAK and I needed to get another token. After logging in and clicking "agree" I get an error too. I'm sorry, there has been a problem getting authorization from Geocaching.com Quote Link to comment

+deltoid Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember this issue cropping up exactly one year ago. If so I wonder is it's got something to do with the date? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Geocaching HQ engineers are aware of this issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 You're quite welcome, on4bam. I'm posting again to report that API functionality appears to be normal again, at least for me, and at least when using GSAK and Project-GC. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Mausebiber Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) The security verification of HTTPS (the S) was broken for me, it's back and now verified by "Sectigo Limited" Everything works as expected. Edited May 30, 2020 by Mausebiber Quote Link to comment
+sloth96 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 It is nice that things are back to normal. I learned somethings about the existing trust hierarchy today. It is more fragile that expected. Quote Link to comment
