Sporadic connections for OAuth testing

MikeBreadwinner — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 14:50:10 GMT

I'm trying to work through the OAuth process with redirecting to the merchant mentioned here. https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/features/oauth.html#Redirecting_the_Merchant

I have a test partner account and have the application configured.

When I put this URL (my-client-id is replaced with my real value) into the browser

https://logintest.authorize.net/?sub=oauth&client_id=[my-client-id]&redirect_uri=https%3a%2f%2fgoogle.com&scope=read,write&state=abc12345

I'm asked to log into a merchant account. Great!! I log into my sandbox account and hit 'Allow'

I can get back 3 different results with the same URL

https://www.google.com/?error=server_error

https://www.google.com/?error=

https://www.google.com/?code=[some-code]&state=abc12345

The last one, which is the one I want, only returns maybe 1 out of every 10 times.

This makes it very tough to test/code mainly because I'm not sure if my request is correct or not.

I'm obviously using google.com & the hardcoded 'state' for testing purposes.

Has anyone else run into this or know what is going on?

Thanks

The sporadic nature seemed to disipate after a while but I did notice that Auth.Net does not like double quotes in the 'state' attribute. It will blow up every time with the ?error=
