Forum REST API logs not showing HTTP Status 403 errors

[NevC]

Hi Developer Team,

On our production forum user login, we have an Auth0 post login flow to get user details from Forum through the GET core/members. This is the code for the Populate forum user data on login:

* Handler that will be called during the execution of a PostLogin flow.

*

* @param {Event} event - Details about the user and the context in which they are logging in.

* @param {PostLoginAPI} api - Interface whose methods can be used to change the behavior of the login.

*/

const axios = require("axios");

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {

const namespace = '<CG API URL>';

const forumURL = 'https://forum.casinogrounds.com';

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/avatar`, event.user.picture);

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/email`, event.user.email);

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/username`, event.user.username);

 

const url = `${forumURL}/api/core/members?key=${event.secrets.forumApiKey}&email=${encodeURIComponent(event.user.email)}`;

// console.log('url: ', url);

const forumUserData = await axios.get(url, {

headers: {

'User-Agent': 'auth0-action-populate-forum-user-data',

}

});

 

if (forumUserData.status === 200 && forumUserData.data.results && forumUserData.data.results.length > 0 && forumUserData.data.results[0].email === event.user.email) {

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/forum_user_profile_url`, forumUserData.data.results[0].profileUrl);

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/forum_user_photo_url`, forumUserData.data.results[0].photoUrl);

api.accessToken.setCustomClaim(`${namespace}/forum_user_name`, forumUserData.data.results[0].name);

}

};

From Auth0, we are receiving a 403 status error from Forum but on the REST API logs I am only seeing 200, 201 and 404 errors. The error from Auth0 is the following: 

{

   "action_name":"Populate forum user data on login",

   "response":{

      "error":{

         "code":"ERR_BAD_REQUEST",

         "message":"Request failed with status code 403",

         "name":"AxiosError",

         "stack":"AxiosError: Request failed with status code 403\n    at settle (/data/layers/layers-zfDn/zfDngH1yU51TNG8pkEdFfEpUsA11xFgdd1aUUCXYbl8/node_modules/axios/dist/node/axios.cjs:1900:12)\n    at IncomingMessage.handleStreamEnd (/data/layers/layers-zfDn/zfDngH1yU51TNG8pkEdFfEpUsA11xFgdd1aUUCXYbl8/node_modules/axios/dist/node/axios.cjs:2952:11)\n    at IncomingMessage.emit (node:events:539:35)\n    at IncomingMessage.emit (node:domain:537:15)\n    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1345:12)\n    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21)"

      },

      "stats":{

         "total_request_duration_ms":102,

         "total_runtime_execution_duration_ms":99,

         "runtime_processing_duration_ms":5,

         "action_duration_ms":94,

         "boot_duration_ms":5,

         "network_duration_ms":3

      }

   },

   "error":{

      "id":"invalid_argument",

      "msg":"Invalid Argument"

   },

   "started_at":"2023-03-19T14:39:38.639568081Z",

   "ended_at":"2023-03-19T14:39:38.742165298Z"

}

 

 

In the above the key is the following 

   "error":{

      "id":"invalid_argument",

      "msg":"Invalid Argument"

   },

But since the status is 403 not 400, kindly could you please let us know what is missing or not done correctly please?

Thanks and regards,

A 403 in your case is likely happening at the edge of the network -- the request never reaches the Community so it cannot be logged.

It's worth checking that you're sending a user-agent with the request, if this is missing it can cause some firewalls to block requests.

Thanks for your reply Stuart. Yes we are sending 'User-Agent': 'auth0-action-populate-forum-user-data'

@Stuart Silvester Kindly let us know when you have updates regarding the above please. Thanks.

[NevC]

@Stuart Silvester kindly note that this issue is high priority for since a number of users cannot log into forum because of this. Any updates please?
