Application not found when trying to authenticate mobilizon importer

Hi there,
I found the event importer (fantastic!) and I had it working for a while. It seems it only works for importing to a group, and not a user?

In any case, i tried to clean up some profiles and managed to lock myself out. After restoring the server to an earlier backup i get an error when I try to add the imports again.

« Application not found. The provided application was not found. »

Is there any way around this or is it time to re-install? thanks!

Seems like the solution (for now) is to use a different importer, since this setting is on the importer side.

I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?

Since this is a similar scenario—after reinstalling, the importer’s authentication no longer works—could the reason be that the Mobilizon instance uses the same domain but new keys generated during the reinstallation?

@dindy Can you help?

I think the importer @jolos-jolos is talking about is not mine (mine is https://import.mobilizon.webworkers.agency/). Which importer are you in trouble with ?

I tried: Outil d'import Mobilizon

redirected to

https://jura-biel-seeland.fedievents.ch/oauth/autorize_approve?client_id=xyz&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fimport.mobilizon.webworkers.agency%2Fmobilizon%2Fcallback&scope=read+write&state=27

(client_id is replaced)

@dindy Is there a way to delete registrations/connections for instances in your backend?

@dindy Could you please check whether the instance ~~https://jura-biel.seeland.fedievents.ch~~ https://jura-biel-seeland.fedievents.chis registered in your import tool, and if so, delete it so that I can re-register it?

Hi @perry !

I surely can but I just would like to explore the problem before so I can implement a solution for all users. Did you put your server offline ? I can’t reach the instance.

sorry wrong url the right one is: https://jura-biel-seeland.fedievents.ch

I reinstalled the instance, and in the process, new keys were generated that may be preventing your import tool from authenticating.

same domain new keys

Maybe the same thing happened to @jolos-jolos.

At least, I had a similar problem where I couldn’t follow a Mobilizon group on Mastodon. The reason was that the Mobilizon instance’s domain had been changed, and apparently it’s important to reinstall the Mobilizon instance, otherwise the keys won’t match anymore.

I guess the app was just not in your instance’s database anymore.

Unfortunately I can’t find a reliable way to check if the app is registered on an mobilizon instance, so I can’t develop a feature to repair an app registration. I can’t neither give a user the power to remove the app because other users may use the same app on the same instance.

Nevertheless I removed your domain in the app database and connect myself to your instance to recreate the app in your instance. You should be able to connect now. If you want I can also restore your automations (with history and already imported events) after you connect to your account.

Thank you!

How about deactivating accounts after a certain period of inactivity, so that users have to reconnect?

I suggest we centralize the discussion here : Redirect to mobilizon instance · Issue #13 · dindy/event-parser · GitHub . I think I wrote a better explanation of what’s happening.
