'm trying to log into the https://data.lsst.cloud/ and getting stuck in a loop: data. lsst. cloud page => cilogon page => stanford logon => “Self Signup With Approval” => cilogon page (github selected) => id.lsst.cloud (with red error box) => back to data.lsst.cloud How is this supposed to work? …

Sounds like the problem is you pick Stanford and then Github according to what you say. People in this situation should mind of step 4 here: Getting an account on the RSP — Rubin Science Platform [screenshot] I recommend also following along with the video in the link above. In any case, you (s…

Hi Eric, It looks like you’ve got two RSP accounts (no worries this is not unusual and easy to do with this system). The first was created in 2023 and uses Stanford University as your identity provider, with a last apparent login Mar 20th of this year. The second was started Thu Jul 3 and approve…

Yes, I can log on to cilogon.org using stanford identity.

OK thanks. And if you try to login to data.lsst.cloud first with GitHub instead of Stanford? (I’m just trying to gather more info for our tech team to help with the diagnosis).

Ok, thank you for helping me to navigate the 21st century user interfaces here.
