Hi,

Unfortunately you can't sign into the SUMO website with a Mozilla Persona. But you have a very good point there that you should be able to.

Sorry about that!

• Bug 714934 - add support for browserid/persona authentication

@cyborg4, thanks I just wanted to bring this to someone's attention & be confirmed that I wasn't missing something. lol. I would have thought that Persona would have been executed throughout all Mozilla properties first as a test and a way to market the product. Thanks for the reply. :)

@cor-el, I read through that bug but could not be clear if they are going to implement Persona in all Mozilla properties. Seemed like a lot of "maybe this or maybe that" going on. Since it's not a closed bug can I guess they may be adding it in?

hello citizen539, persona sign-in on support.mozilla.org will be available very soon...

YAY! That's good news.

Thank you everyone for all your help and quick answers, very appreciated.

So I came here to check on a few problems and wondered if we could sign in with Persona yet and I don't see that it is active? Just wondering.

However while signing in I noticed that this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth says "You don't need to register to ask a question." but the link takes you to a wizard that eventually requires you to register. And this page says you do have to register; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support

Someone should fix that, it's confusing.

Sorry, using Persona to sign-in here at SUMO still hasn't been set up yet. AFAIK, the only Mozilla sub-domain where Persona is active is the Persona part of Mozilla, I haven't seen it used any where else.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth is wrong. A bug was filed quite awhile ago, but that page hasn't been fixed yet.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support is correct.

Thanks ed, would you happen to know that bug number?

cor-el posted the Bug number on 09-18-13.

for the persona integration see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897048

the misleading label was reported in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=899581

It is the difference between asking a question in general (searching for an answer to a problem) and asking for assistance on the forum.
Posting the forum requires to register.

When you start the AAQ process to ask a question then you are presented with search results about your question as a check if the question already has been asked before and if a suitable answer is available that works for you then you do not need to register to finish the AAQ process, but can stop there.
