[ERROR] Opera Unite authentication failed

[ERROR] Opera Unite authentication failed

Today I've tried opera unite for the first time, but I couldn't get it working.
I always get:
PROXY_CONNECTION_ERROR_AUTH_FAILURE

My username is fairly simple, no special chars. I've also checked password of my opera account many times - it's correct and it doesn't contain any non-english chars.
I thought the password length could be the problem, but shorter password didn't help either.

What could be wrong?

I'm using unite for longer times, but I have the same problem today: no authentification. There were no changes in my settings. Restart Opera - no help. Rebooting - no help. Perhaps we have to wait?

I see - maybe server errors. I've spoken to some users on irc, but it was working for them.
Will try later.

Same for me. Just came to share some files and I'm unable to connect. I type my pw in correctly, it keeps f*cking giving me the same error over and over

What a sh*tty damn company. F*ck Opera

Same thing for me today. Now I'm at my friend's place and his Unite has the same issue.

Opera link will work, but unite is offering the authentication error.

Same thing happening here. Just started using unite a couple days ago and the first time I have had a real use for it it fails. Awesome.

Just posting to join the club. Have the same problem. Don't know when it started. I had some problems with my router and had to reset it last weekend. Yesterday I was going to open up some ports for Unite. Could not get it to work at all! Then I saw this error in Unite...

me too...
i am new to all this - i was really hoping it could work.
user/password seem to be right - i entered the forum - but my Opera Unite Status is "Opera Unite authentication failed"

hmmm.. i tried opera a couple of weeks back and i quite liked it but i uninstalled it cuz youtube was acting wierd with opera. So now, i decided to give opera another chance and installed it again. But.... after experimenting with the opera unite i think its a pretty cool feature but now.. authentication error? what? also no help on how to solve it other then checking ur user and password? doesnt even tell you if opera servers are down or not

Also cant login to unite, with this account im wrinting now. im using opera 10.52 build 3363.

YouTube has been fixed now. It was an error on YouTube, not Opera.

If you are using a beta version, that might be the reason. Unite is acctually working for me now, but I still have the error... I am however using a custom domain, not machine.user.operaunite.com.

I get the error at the bottom of the browser but can use the site from the side bar strange.

hope they will fix it soon.. i was using unite w/out problem.. i showed opera to friend, and he got a problem with unite, so i logoff own pc from unite to test it.. and now can't login

Same for me. I even tried to create a new Unite account but the sae result. Opera Unite fails to Authenticate

/Espen

same problem here, using opera 10.51 build 3315. Opera Unite authentication failed
any help?

Same thing
I want to use Unite (The strange thing is that only my pc can see my pages, but the computers in the same network can't see)

Try to connect to the IP of your Unite machine. Something like:

http://192.168.1.2:8840

Change to the correct IP and port.

Unite works for me, locally and remote, but not when I connect via <machine>.<username>.operaunite.com

This is an outrage!
http://www.shrani.si/f/3i/3a/2b8uF9Id/opera.jpg

I get this on 3 of 4 accounts I and my friends use since yesterday...

*chips in* Add one more victim, can't authenticate either!

Same issue. I'm assuming it's a server issue and it will get worked out...hopefully soon.

Same issue, can't connect, I hope the head of Opera Unite will resolve the problem soon

I'm just throwing my hat into the ring here. Same problem.

Same here authentification failed gg opera !!!

I assume this is free feature but when there is that kind of problem tell us by mail with some informations because many users may change multiples setup for nothing on the computer that result as a waste of time....

Sorry for the inconvenience ...

Chipping in. Been unable to use Unite for the last 2 days. Was working like a charm before.

Same, can't authenticate.

This made me a bit more happy; at least I know now that it is an issue with Opera and not an issue with my computer.

Still - It is rather unfortunate for it to fail. D=

I believe we will just have to wait until we hear something from Opera. Basing myself on past experience, they are likely working on a fix. =3

It actually happened when I disabled Opera Unite and then re-enabled it. It was working perfectly before I did that.
I want Opera Unite
Opera fix this soon!

Yes, i am too getting this error. I just downloaded Opera, to test it out on my PC. I had high hopes, and Unite looked amazing, but i can't even use it now . PLEASE Opera fix this, it's VERY useful for everyone and i want to try it out.

pareil pour moi , impossible d'utiliser Unite ( files sharing et Media player ) , très interessant pourtant !
Similar for me, impossible to use Unite ( files sharing et Media player ) , very interessant nevertheless!

Make a bug report here https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/ to let opera know that is not working ok. Report the bug number without the @ part in a post.

I'm new to this so don't know how to make a bug report

can someone please do so? Really want this running again. thanks

Same for me too!

And another one with the same problem. Authentication Failed. Tested on 10.10 and 10.52B on linux.

I thought its only 10.51 problem. This just confirms that it must be proxy server error...

I made a bug report, US-1990. I don't have any problems login in with snapshot 10.52 Build 3363.

Saying that encouraged me to go 10.52 3363 but it did not solve the problem.

well People ,

I joined the OperaUnite "OperaUnite Authentication Failed" Club Yesterday . I set OperaUnite to run my web site and test video streaming for a while. Figured that I would go somewhere for a while and leave it running for a while to see how it would react to steady usage. Everything was working right before I left even tested the video to be sure I could log on in IE and view the stream. Well came back a hour later and there it was... the dreaded pop-up dialog box with "THE" message "Authentication Failed!!!" . I am running Opera 10.52 3363 I also tried to log on using 10.10 no luck.

I have tried every login trick I could think of with no luck, IP address, IP with port number, log in with and without Opera proxy server, nothing worked at all. Guess it is the proxy server because the pass is correct
the only thing that I have not tried is a new account yet . I did file a error report and also attached the Info Application file . I hope that they can come up with a solution soon ,I would love to get back to work on my web site. report # US-1991@bugs

This thing is moving through users like a virus . Just wondering how many of you are using the UJS manager .. could it be one of the scripts is messing with united ???

about UJS: no, it is not causing problems
don't bother with new account, tried it, no progress at all. I hope good people of Opera will attend to it tomorrow.

And I have the same authentication error. I've made the bugreport US-1993

I just got back after a few hours and Unite said I need to login again.. Not I am getting the authentication error... So I am dead in the water.

Opera support do realized that unite is now in production? What is going on????

Hallo, I've the same problem.

Who will help.

I liked it,but a prog. what does not work ...

I had three new instalations and a new account no change

greetings

Well it does look like Opera people were having the problem. I could not even get to this forum. I am now able to login and authenticate. Hopefully everyone else in the thread can also login and be authenticated!

I just still can not see, on my Opera account Unite tab, any of my 7 Unite application servers icons. I know people are connecting and using my servers but it is not from my Unite Tab links. I have submitted a bug for that problem which is bug US-1994. This has been happening since I installed Build 3363 on a Windows XP from the prior build.

Looks like problem is solved, just login again and it will be fine... Thank you Opera team, you are the best

Seems like there has been some issues with the login servers. If this happens again I'll poke someone!

yay, fixed
thanks!
i'll never logout again ^^

Nicely done Opera. Early Monday morning and the unite issue fixed already. Thank you.

For those of you complaining about the issue just remember:

-it is free
-no other browser is doing what Opera is doing

Solved thanks to Opera for help ^^;

Just because its a free program doesn't mean we don't have the right to complain. Whats the point of using a program if its not going to work correctly. Just because its "free" dose not mean it don't have room to improve, issues don't get solved unless people complain.

It is your job as a Opera User to report problems and bugs!! Don't feel bad about Reporting a problem. That way , all Opera User everywhere , can have the best Opera Internet Experience Possible. Opera Has Always been the Advertising Flagship of the Opera Company. That is why it is free!! We want To Put our best shoe forward for the public.

The Opera Developers could never have created such a great product without the help, suggestions and support of the Volunteer Application Developers and users like you. That is why the Opera "Community" has always been dear to my heart. We are truly A "Community" , a ever growing Internet Family . Out to Prove to the World that the Small Guy can do truly Great Things!!..

The Only thing that The Opera Developers have ever ask of the Community is when you spot a bug or problem , Be professional leave the emotions at home. (although a occasional tear,or sad look is allowed in the Opera Chat room as long as you are on Topic) Use the Bug Reoprt Wizard and give them as much information as possible.(less the gun too your head before your system crashed stuff) For You Unite User install the Unite Info Application and run it , attach the report to your bug report when you are having connection problems.It will help Opera Team to resolve the issue They will get to it as quickly as possible....( Ever a Opera Geek has hormones and needs a weekend off with the little lady!! )

Comments about: Their Family tree, Their relationship to Animals, or dissertations about where you are going to shove Opera when you get to them, has never accelerated the Developmental Process. ( Although occasional nagging seems to help, Geeks tend to get lost in there work and need to be reminded of things they should look into before clocking out).

Other that that, The Opera Developers have always ask that you put your best professional foot forward to Show the World that the reason you are a" Opera Community Member," is because you are a cut above the general Internet Riff Raff ...With A Dream!

P.S. The "Opera Unite authentication failed" was fixed first thing Monday morning ,when they got back to work . We love and thank them for that! and hope that they had a good weekend.

Cheers!!

One week ago, I had some problems too, as appears in the shots:





Now, thats solved, but the MyOpera Unite page is still appearing as no service running,& there is a message as "No direct connection possible" in Unite.

I have seen the same problem that none of my services display on my Opera account Unite tab since I installed a few builds prior to 3367. I have reported this Opera bug in US-1994 back on April 18, 2010. The "No direct connection possible" message has always displayed for me. There are a few threads in this forum that have mentioned this problem. Can't remember the consensus of that problem from those threads.

Fixed!!

Sorry but what did you do to fix? I still have the same problem.

Still appears as "No direcct connection possible", but cheking MyOpera Unite page http://my.opera.com/Zalex108/unite/ , the services running appears in it & everyone can access from outside.

So you are saying it just suddenly started to work? That is, all your on-line active services appear on your MyOpera Unite page. The 7 services I have running do not show up on my Unitehttp://my.opera.com/weconsultants/unite/ page. This has happened in the past where they do not display and then mysterious they display without me doing anything.

Which version and build of Opera are you running?

Well they are now mysteriously appearing again...

Not sure who to thank... so thanks Opera support..

Yess!!
Appears & Runing againg!!

+1 Thx Opera Team!

problems again, now everything appears to be fine, but it is not possible to access unite globally, browsers show unavailable page (without 0.001s waiting time!)

I Have post a note in your Fridge!
Whats wrong!¿?

it's ok now, it has been a bit unreliable lately(not just mine but all my friends were unavailable this morning, now they are reachable... some of them reported proxy errors to me (for I am the one who showed them the ways of the Opera browser...) ... thanks anyway.

Originally posted by frogstomp:

The Dark Way to Opera! xDDDD

it's off again

Don't know man!
It's working for me right now, 18.30h Spanish time.

Same here... Still working for me as of the time stamp of this forum message.

same problem again, proxy unreachable or address unknown, can't access any unite page...

"Could not locate remote server

You tried to access the address http://home.*****.operaunite.com/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page."

could this be somehow isp related? at my girlfriends house, she could connect any time to any unite computer, but now she always gets this error, event when i can access all pages... she also has problems with connecting to proxy for her own account all the time. we have the same isp, same settings, tried with other computers on her connection as well and it will not go through...

but i am sure unite proxy is down for this weekend again.. opera needs to have more stable servers, even myopera community gets inaccessible more and more frequently these days...

No problems here!!!
With any of my friends!!

ok, reporting back that the problems wanished, great
still can't say what's wrong, it might be an isp issue (all computers used same provider, jet some of them were off and others on, totally random) but from time to time (mostly weekends) opera unite can't find proxy server, nor are we able to connect to any opera unite machines... i have send a bug report, it would be great to have some feedback from opera team so we can't find the problem and fix it.

Hope they send to you!

ok, all works well now, even messenger and fridge, it was not 10.53 issue but unite server apparently as i suspected just keep it up this way!!!


edit: need to take that right back, messenger and fridge unresponsive again, can access fridge from other browsers or when reloaded a couple of times
