Expected behavior

In 2.14.0 version of Atlas, can navigate to Characterizations section and browse any of existing characterization from the list displayed. Shall display selected characterization information.

(Likewise, creating New Characterization is problematic in the same way.)

Actual behavior

Pop-up dialog with message Error! Please see server logs for details. and blank page appears.

The culprit seems to be access attempt to /user/refresh endpoint when user authentication for the whole setup is not enabled.

Firefox console:

Tomcat access logs, IP redacted:

Steps to reproduce behavior

In 2.14.0 version of Atlas, navigate to Characterizations section and try to browse any of existing characterization from the list displayed. Problematic behaviour discovered by Marek Oja.

Possible fix

We used to fix a line in js/services/AuthAPI.js where instead

        if (!isPromisePending(refreshTokenPromise)) {

we use

        if (!isPromisePending(refreshTokenPromise) && (config.userAuthenticationEnabled)) {

Works fine for us, for now.
