Hi, I’d appreciate any help you can provide. I’m a developer looking to use solid for a range of projects. I have created a test pod at [https://solid.tomlodge.info/tlodge/](https://solid.tomlodge.info/tlodge/) and it appears to work fine. I’m able to login using my WebID on the Kraken media app with no problems. But I cannot login with any of the other apps that are listed at [Solid Applications · Solid](https://solidproject.org/apps) i.e notepod, solidarity, solid filemanager etc. With all of these, when I try an log in I can see a request hitting the solid community server: ```auto 2022-03-02T10:47:43.194Z [BaseHttpServerFactory] info: Received GET request for /.well-known/openid-configuration 2022-03-02T10:47:43.237Z [BaseHttpServerFactory] info: Received GET request for /.oidc/jwks ``` But nothing happens. For the prompt: “Please enter your WebID or the URL of your identity provider”, I have tried my WebID and the pod location: I’m not sure if I have misundstood something or there is a version issue or something else. It seems odd that it works fine for the Media Kraken app and nothing else. Any help/feedback gratefully received. ---

Unfortunately there have been a number of breaking changes to the Solid specs, and most apps are mostly proof-of-concepts that have not been updated to align with those. So no, unfortunately it’s not just you ☹ ---

Vincent is correct that we are currently facing a variety of transition problems with Solid authentication. However a group is working to test all apps and Media Kraken is definitey one that works. An evolving list of apps that work with the new authentication can be found here [https://solidproject.solidcommunity.net/Team/dpop-migration/](https://solidproject.solidcommunity.net/Team/dpop-migration/). @tlodge - when asked for an IdP do not give your web id or pod address, give the origin of the IdP’s server e.g. [https://solidcommunity.net](https://solidcommunity.net). Note no trailing slash. ---

Thanks both for the response - pleased to know it’s not my config - I’ll use Kraken as the basis for ongoing development. ---

Interestingly @jeffz, with that change to add `solid:oidcIssuer` to the WebID, we may soon be able to support users entering their WebID IRIs/URLs as an acceptable way to login, since the IdP is already in the WebID dataset. ---

Yep, or if the person has multiple IdPs, offer a dropdown of them.
