Online accounts UI runs at boot

[Pat McGowan]

For the past two days, every time I reboot the phone the online-accounts-ui process runs, which causes the greeter to open, and once I enter the passcode it displays the facebook login page.

This is on mako running rtm r226 release

We need to find out which is the process which invokes online-accounts. In order to do so, please run the following commands:

    echo "LoggingLevel=2" > ~/.config/signond.conf

Then reboot the phone, and if the problem still reproduces, we should see some information in the syslog.

I am not observing that on r219, so that's a more recent change

Disabling Facebook access fixes the issue, so the theory is account-polld is causing the auth to occur, which it should not be allowed to do.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

account-polld is the process triggereing this bug, but it's not actually the one which should be blamed. The bug is indeed in u-s-s-o-a, which in the RTM version doesn't properly check whether the trusted session could be created.

This bug should be already fixed in vivid: when account-polld will make its request, the trusted session won't be created (because account-polld has no UI), u-s-s-o-a will see that the request failed and will immediately return an error to the client. No UI will be displayed to the user.

We are not making non critical updates to rtm-14.09 releases.
