The localStorage which captutes the logged in state has not been set.\r\n\r\n(Maybe for webidTLS this should be sessionStorage in fact so hat when the user closes the tab it doesn't get assumed for every use of the browser from then on -- in other words so that the solid logged in state properly echoes the TLS logged in state)\r\n\r\nThe damage of having the user log in twice is unacceptable. \r\nNote we are comparing this with the original webid-tls world in which the user has only the certificate choice, and no other UI before they can get going and use the page.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timbl","@type":"Person","name":"timbl"},"datePublished":"2017-08-31T22:29:01.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/568/node-solid-server/issues/568"}
