Login redirects to homepage, shows no error

Support
1

I have a Discourse instance running which had SSO turned on. I got locked out due to misconfiguration.

Proceeded with changing a couple of settings:

./launcher enter app
rails c
SiteSetting.enable_sso = false
SiteSetting.enable_local_logins = true
exit

Trying to login directly shows no error and redirects to the home page. No errors are shown.
Also tried using the /users/admin-login.

Log output:

Anything I’m missing?

When signing up for an account I get this error:
We cannot detect if your account was created, please ensure you have cookies enabled.

Is this on a local instance? Are you on our hosting? I’m confused.

This implies there is something going very awry with your browser or network. I suggest using a different web browser, one you don’t normally use?

This is a instance running in a EC2. Using this for staging purposes, which makes developing new integrations and updating the theme easier. Its mirroring our hosted instance we have with you.

Pretty sure I found out the reason, I’m accessing it directly by the IP Address, didn’t add a DNS record that points to it and didn’t configure Let’s Encrypt too.

Whats your thoughts?

All good now. Added a DNS record and enabled Let’s Encrypt.

SSO working properly!
