noscript blocking login to openstreetmap.org

[Gazer75]

As title says I can no longer log in to this site with noscript even active. Allow globally is not working.
Not using any of the 3rd party options btw.

When this issue occurs, do you see anything related in the Browser Console? (Ctrl-Shift-J)
(if you don't know what's related, turn off CSS warnings and post everything else you see)

(Are you the OP of viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18536 and if so can you please clarify what's different about this issue vs the other thread? Thanks.)

Don't know what to say here now...

Trying to reproduce again and its been working fine now for some reason.
Earlier I tried over and over, but no chance. Logged in using Chrome with no problems.
And each time I had disabled noscript in my Firefox addon list it was also possible to log in with firefox.
Cleared cookies as well, but didn't help.


Yes it was me that had issues with the remote control edit option.
I have no idea how this function works exactly, but it tells the JOSM editor to download the area you view on the website.
Its a remote control option in JOSM that listens on localhost port 8111(http) and 8112(https).
Haven't had this problem in a long time...

You obviously have to log in first to use the remote control option.
JOSM also have to be set up with your account settings as stuff you edit will be uploaded using your account.

That post is under your account now.

That information is enough to outline the likely solution for if you have that issue again (or in case it's somehow related to the login issue). Check Browser Console (Ctrl-Shift-J) for any ABE-related messages, and use that information to add exception above the default rule in NoScript Options > Advanced > ABE > SYSTEM
It would have the form

Code: Select all

Site ^https?://localhost:811[12]/
Accept from https://somesubdomain.openstreetmap.org/*

Just an example, it might use different way to connect to localhost (e.g. 127.0.0.1)

Can't give more specifics than that without seeing an actual console message, https://noscript.net/abe/users.html explains the format of the console message and ABE Rules .pdf explains how to write ABE rules.

Thank you for that.

Thinking there is something going on with my nocript as it has been acting weird for a while. Sometimes causing pages to take ages to load or not load at all.

Is there a way to delete all noscript settings and remove it, and then try add it back in fresh?

backup settings first: NoScript Options > Export (the button on the very bottom, *not* the one unique to the Whitelist panel)
then
NoScript Options > Reset
