Troubleshooting OAuth Errors in FogBugz Mail Server

Overview

Users may encounter OAuth errors when attempting to log into their mail server through FogBugz. These errors can occur due to invalid client secrets, expired tokens, or server-side issues. This article outlines steps to troubleshoot and resolve OAuth errors, including verifying client secrets, reauthorizing OAuth, and checking for server-side fixes.

Information

To resolve OAuth errors when logging into your mail server through FogBugz, follow these steps:

  1. Verify Client Secret:
    • Log into the Microsoft Azure portal.
    • Navigate to your app registration and check the client secret.
    • Ensure it matches the one used in your OAuth configuration.
  2. Reauthorize OAuth:
    • Go to the mail server settings in FogBugz.
    • Select your mail account and click on the 'Reauthorize' button to refresh the credentials.
  3. Check for Updates:
    • Navigate to the 'Help' menu in FogBugz and select 'Check for Updates' to ensure you have the latest patches.
  4. Check for Service Outages:
    • Verify if there are any known issues with your email service provider that could affect OAuth functionality.
  5. Review Account Settings:
    • Ensure that the account settings in FogBugz are correctly configured, including email address, protocol type, and mail server URL.
  6. Reauthorize the Mailbox:
    • If the issue persists, try deauthorizing and then reauthorizing the mailbox to generate a new OAuth token.
  7. Server-Side Fix:
    • If a server-side issue is identified, check the incident status page for updates. A fix may have been deployed by the Infrastructure team.
  8. Grant Administrator Access (if needed):
    • Generate a new FogBugz API token while logged in as an administrator.
    • Fill out the FogBugz Admin Access form with your email address, ticket number, instance URL, and the access token.
    • Submit the form and update the support case.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact FogBugz support for further assistance.
