from class test: login issues

[johnarban]

During login, some people (using the harvard based url) would be bumped to an error screen (a bad redirect error). This is the same error that I get locally if I don't use the right port when logging in and running locally. For some, just continuing to go back and refreshing seemed to work eventually, but for others we needed to use the elasticbeanstalk link to get it to work (maybe just refreshing would have worked, so needing to go to elasticbeanstalk may just be a caching issue?). Perhaps this was due to hitting the authentication server too often?

I saw this happen recently on the server. The way I was able to get around it was to go explicitly to a logout url that someone gave me in the past. Would it work to make sure the logout button directs to this? (or is that already what we were doing?) https://app.cosmicds.cfa.harvard.edu/_solara/auth/logout
