Login Page doesn't work with only Social Connections Enabled

Overview

When an application has only social connections enabled the following error is observed on the login page:

error: invalid_request
description: connection not found for the client

Applies To

  • Social Connections
  • Login Page

Cause

This can occur when screen_hint=signup is present in the /authorize parameters. Social connections do not allow signups, and the application only has social connections enabled, so there are no available connections for use, and this error is returned.

Solution

Remove the screen_hint parameter from /authorize when authenticating users via an application for which there are only social connections.
