   Logged in with my TLS webid

   @timbl The first question is whether you are actually logged in, or whether solid-auth-client thinks you are logged in (nodeSolidServer/solid-auth-client#44).

   To answer that question, can you check your localStorage on https://ruben-just-works.solid.community/ and tell me whether the value for solid-auth-client contains WebID-TLS?

   No, I had logged in. Here is the auth from when I had done

   • Open a new incognito window
   • Go to https://timbl.com/timbl/Public/
   • Go to the Home Pane.
   • Press Log In
   • On the popup press Log In With Databox (which I know means log in with TLS)
   • Use my normal webid on w3.org with the cert
   • The page then complains it can't access my preferences

   I suspect the problem is: solid-auth-client won't send my credentials because it thinks that there are two ways of being logged in , TLS and OIDC but there are not. You end up whether yo use a cert or a password, you end up with OIDC creds. The code on solid-auth-client which checks

   I still get 401.

   @timbl I have the feeling that the fetcher used to get the preferences file is not SolidAuthClient. Can you verify?

   The fetcher used is the protofetch OWTTE which then dispatches on the protocol of the URI, calling the solid-auth-client fetch for http; and https: (but not safe: or file:)

   The problem turned out to be different solid-auth-client versions in mashlib/solid-ui/solid-panes. All have been upgraded to use 2.0.
