Issue

  • Google Drive authentication usually works correctly, but sometimes it randomly fails with java.lang.IllegalStateException: Authorization oAuth2State not initialized errors in the logs.
  • Google Drive was linked to the environment correctly following the official documentation.
  • My environment is clustered.

Environment

  • Quarterly Release
  • PaaS
  • SaaS

Resolution

Additional Information

  • Google Drive authentication can fail when users switch nodes between storing and retrieving credentials, because the nodes access different instances of the map storing the credentials.
  • The fix for LPD-41695 broadcasts any changes to a map storing credentials across all the nodes in a cluster.
