O-Auth

[GJCaesar]

Hi

I am trying to use the O-Auth certification of JOSM. However, if I follow the instructions i cannot succeed step 2/3 (Get the access token). Less than a second a new window opens, which seem to contain an error message. It closes before I can read it.

I am using debian release 5267 under lenny.

Any help is appreciated.

This is an old version. Please upgrade to tested version (r5485).

The debian update policy and the development circles of JOSM do not fit that well. On squeeze lenny, I would always use the .jar files from this page, although I was able to install and run the debian package from wheezy.

BTW: You can use the start script from the debian package to start JOSM. Just copy and adjust.

EDT: Are you sure that it is lenny as this means oldstable and no security updates. -> You should dist-upgrade.

Did you reproduce it with r5485 or above ?

No I did not. I am using r5267, which is the most recent for which a Debian package exists (I do not know how to install the most recent one without disturbing Debian's package management).

I solved the problem, however, by running the most recent version of JOSM temporarily, completing the o-auth procedure and switching then back to r5267. It seems now, that r5267 can authentify me.

OK so I close this ticket.
