I have sent out invitations, both by email and via link. The ‘Accept’ button does not work for anyone. I have confirmed this behavior.

Based on prior reports I have seen for similar issues, this could mean HTTPS isn’t configured properly on your site?

Interesting. Any guidance on how to troubleshoot? My cert is validating. Not sure where to go from here.
I did a DO droplet, so it automated setup.

Qualys SSL Test looks good as well.

Is the site setting ‘force Https’ enabled?

I don’t see this in the Discourse settings, so I’m guessing you are referring to something on the underlying server?

It should be in the site setting at `/admin/site_settings/category/security?filter=force%20https`, unless you are one of our hosted customers.

I get no results for this.

Enable it via console:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
SiteSetting.force_https = true
exit
```

So are these command taking the desired action, or are they making the setting visible in the UI? If the later, then it does not appear to have worked.

The former. Now we know for sure that `force HTTPS` is enabled on your site.

Did this fix your problem @Chris_Mullins? I am unclear how you got into this state, how did you set up Discourse? Is your site behind a proxy of some kind?

Thanks for checking. Still struggling. Seems as if it may be related to this issue:

At one time I had this working. 1st invited user got in fine. At that point I must have done something to break.

These are changes that could be related? Or maybe don’t work the way I think they do…

I’m not sure, do you see anything there @dax? The error message isn’t great. It could be this recent problem related to duplicate user prefs in the database:
> [@User cannot signup due to duplicate values in category notification states](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-cannot-signup-due-to-duplicate-values-in-category-notification-states/127444):

> Hello Members can’t sign up to the site. This has started 11 days ago and no new users have been able to join the site ever since this was reported. Here is the logs I’ve found for this. A little note: We have migrated Vbulletin 4 database like 2 months ago to discourse. We never encountered this problem before. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Do you see any relevant errors in /logs when logged in as an admin?

Nope.
@Chris_Mullins can you please send me an invite to [dax@discourse.org](mailto:dax@discourse.org)?

We should wait until he checks `/logs` first as it could be the above error.
