help.ubuntu.com doesn't properly redirect after login

[Teo]

This is an issue in the help.ubuntu.com website,

It's unbelieavable that I have to report this sort of bugs. That there still exist websites that don't properly redirect the user after login.

Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate to some interesting ubuntu community help wiki page, e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
- Click on the link on the bottom of the page that reads "Log in to edit"
- Log in

Expected:
after login, should redirect to the page you were browsing.

Observed annoying:
after login, it redirects you to the main page or whatever, but not where you were previous to login.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general.

In case of relevance on a community page like the example mentioned above here "Login to edit" is on top left hand side.
When clicked it asks - again - for credentials, although user is already logged in to launchpad and redirects to main page.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/

Other example is
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
Lets say user wants to edit the page, already logged in to launchpad and community-help, this time on login-page it displays recognized user data - and redirects to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com

This appears to be related to how the Ubuntu One login service works, so I subscribed Canonical Launchpad Engineering.

[William Grant (wgrant)]

The Launchpad team does not maintain Ubuntu One. But this isn't an issue with Ubuntu One, just the OpenID plugin or configuration on help.ubuntu.com.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Ok, this is what I can see:

The "Login to edit" link URL has the form:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiName?action=login&login=1
and it redirects you to https://login.ubuntu.com

Is it the redirect that needs a fix? Does it pass an incorrect referring URL to Ubuntu One or something?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Pinging the ~ubuntu-doc-wiki-admins team. Is this something you can help with?

[Elizabeth K. Joseph (lyz)]

No, this is a Canonical IS thing.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Ok, thanks. Now reported to rt.ubuntu.com as ticket #25427.
