404 Implicit Callback GET on login - React SPA

[bryndonM]

Hi, we’re getting a console GET Error on the implicit callback virtual route. This is happening only on login in a staged environment, not locally. While not a breaking change, the error isn’t ideal.

We’re using an Azure environment hosted as a static website via a storage account.
I’ve set a base href on the document to “/” and also set any errors to go to index.html, as well as the default path is index.html.

If you’re getting a 404, it means your SPA configuration is not complete on your web server. You should never get a 404 from this route if you have it setup correctly. Rather, it should route the request to your index.html so React can handle it.

Good to know. I’ll look further into our web server setup. Thank you for the quick response.

I was also running into this issue with a Vue SPA when running in a docker container. For me, here is what worked.

1. Make sure router is using history mode.
2. Add a nginx config file and at the very least, add the following to allow the redirect to the callback url. In my case 'login/callback.

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        root  /usr/share/nginx/html;
        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

        location / {
            try_files $uri /index.html;
        }
        location /login/callback/* {
            try_files $uri /index.html;
        }
    }
}
