When Broadcom took over CA, we had that too, and we had a colleague who was stuck in a "please login, oh you are now logged out" loop that only got resolved after I got really really persistent somewhere at CA over the phone. God knows how many seldomly used accounts were/are stuck in such states that only get resolved on a one-by-one basis once someone makes a lot of noise.
Yet they still manage to make it worse and it's often times different for every one, and sometimes not even the same problem on repeat attempts. It's simply overboiling complexity.
My mileage as of five minutes ago:
- went to support.ca.com (hey, I'm old!)
- accepted the invalid cert
- got redirected to some page where it looked like I was logged in
- looked arround for a while, found some links to support
- got a new page, where it looks like I am not logged in
- looked arround some more, found Enterprise Software support
- selected "Automic One Automation" from a text box
- page hang loading for a minute!
- page eventually loaded
- got redirected to https://ca-broadcom.wolkenservicedesk.com/auth-sso
- Staring at "authenticating the user" spinning wheel for the last five minutes
- end result: as of now, can't login to support at all.
Queue the moment where they'll want to close my tickets again lest I comment on them.
This is simply unsuitable, sub par and actually infuriating. Every few days Broadcom changes old CA stuff arround and constantly breaks stuff. They either need to test stuff to make sure it works, or make a painful cut and get rid of all the legacy redirect/cookie/SSO-passing trail.
Br,
