JIRA: Handling case where user denies authentication. about providers HOT 5 CLOSED

If a user denies access with any socialite provider you need to either handle that exception on your end for example in your handleCallback method.

Some services offer that you set a separate denial callback url which you can set on their website but not all do so it is safer to always handle the exception.

I noticed that if the user denies access, the callback request includes an oauth_verifier value of denied. Could we not check for that value in the request and then act accordingly? It would save having to query JIRA's servers and the subsequent exception handling.

Yeah, usually a value like that is what you need will need to use to handle your denial action like redirecting them to a page that shows them a message that access has been denied.

Is it possible to access this value through the Socialite API? I tried directly accessing it, but found that it was protected rather than public. I would rather check the value of oauth_verifier rather than catch an exception.
