Passport service doesn't perform restart properly / Error: Received unexpected HTTP status code of 503 about gluu-passport

On which server we can find logs?

For details please check /opt/gluu/node/passport/server/logs/passport-2018-10-21.log

I added my external IDP in saml config file and went to stop/start passport; but passport didn't start.

@mzico there is no need to apply restarts after configuration changes in 3.1.4 onwards. Waiting 1 min suffices

@ganesh-at-wiw starting with passport 3.1.4 there is no need to check log for errors at startup

Due to passport dependency on oxauth and oxtrust, and that most of times these applications are not ready when passport is starting, we added a mechanism in node application to retry until data is available. In that sense, there might be errors in log but they disappear once passport is enabled, configured and oxtrust is ready.

This also helped us avoid the need of doing frequent manual restarts

Hello @jgomer2001 if that is the case that we don't need to check log for errors at startup, should we assume that the service will be started automatically?
If that is the case, we can remove the dependability in next commit, else below is the fix for now.

yes

[ganesh-at-wiw]

That's cool.
Then I think we can close this issue.

Passport still doesn't start properly in 3.1.5_3 and when you try to (re)start it manually, there are errors in the logs:
start.log

[jgomer2001]

@natt-tester the log error indicates there is no file /etc/gluu/conf/passport-inbound-idp-initiated.json. It seems the package is missing it.
