A user of the Shutterfly Upload plug-in recently notified me of a problem occurring during “seamless sign-in” account authentication (thanks, Taci!). It seems that Shutterfly has implemented a change on their side that now requires user intervention to complete the process.<\/p>\n

First, a bit of background. When you press the “Authenticate...<\/code>” button in the “Export” dialog, the plug-in opens a browser page to Shutterfly’s site that allows you to give permission to the plug-in to access your account. When you grant authorization, Shutterfly sends an acknowledgement back to the plug-in via a page on my web site (don-mckee.com).<\/p>\n

The acknowledgement is supposed to be sent to an “http:\/\/www.don-mckee.com\/<\/code>” address, but it is being routed to an “https:\/\/www.don-mckee.com\/<\/code>” address, instead. My web site does not have “https<\/code>” support, so the request is not working as intended.<\/p>\n

Most likely, you’ll see some kind of a “warning” page indicating that the site may not be what it says it is. If you ignore the warning, and continue to the site, you’ll see a page of HTML code rather than the page I originally intended for you to see.<\/p>\n

One work-around is to look at the address in your browser’s address bar, and change the<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.don-mckee.com\/lightroom\/...<\/code><\/p>\n

address to<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.don-mckee.com\/lightroom\/...<\/code><\/p>\n

press “enter”, and carry on.<\/p>\n

The other work-around is to complete the authentication process manually. After pressing the “Authenticate...<\/code>” button, in addition to opening the browser page to Shutterfly, the plug-in also opens a dialog that looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"Manual<\/a><\/p>\n

It may be hidden under your browser, so you may need to look for it. Anyway, after authorizing the plug-in on the Shutterfly site, you can press the “Complete Manually...<\/code>” button in the dialog and ignore what’s happening in your browser. The plug-in will connect to your Shutterfly account using the credentials you provide and verify that it has permission to access your account in the future.<\/p>\n

Sorry for the inconvenience that this causes. Unfortunately, Shutterfly has not responded to my call for help, and I’ve been unable to work-around the issue on my web server’s side. For now, you’ll need to pick one of the work-arounds listed above, and go with that. If you need any help, send a note to<\/p>\n

don -at- don-mckee -dot- com<\/code><\/p>\n

(replace \u201c-at-\u201d and \u201c-dot-\u201d with \u201c@\u201d and \u201c.\u201d, respectively) and I’ll see what I can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
