Symphony login issues

Some common Symphony login issues and their resolutions can be found below:

Red/yellow banners

A user will see a red or yellow banner at the top of the Symphony client whenever they experience network connectivity issues.

Examples:

A red banner is issued when Symphony has detected several heartbeats are missing, so the software issues a warning that the connection was lost.

To troubleshoot this:

  1. Check that you are connected to the network and perform a test to confirm other web applications or websites are working. If a working connection is confirmed, a caching error could be causing the issue.
  2. Ensure Symphony is in focus, and then clear the cache and reload.
  3. If the banners persist or the page fails to load, contact your internal IT team or the Symphony Support team at support@symphony.com to see if there is any other issues or maintenance work which could be causing the issue.

A yellow banner is issued when Symphony has detected a single missing heartbeat whilst performing a health check. Normally, red/yellow banner issues will resolve themselves after a few seconds/minutes.

Incorrect password banner

An Invalid username or password banner can be triggered by different causes.

To troubleshoot this:

  1. Check that you are using the correct username and password.
    1. One common issue is a user trying to use their email address rather than their username to login.
    2. See how to resolve an invalid username and password error.
  2. If you are usually presented with a SSO login page, but you are now receiving a normal login form, or your username and password are correct, but you are unable to login, you may be connecting to an incorrect Symphony instance.
    1. See how to check the Symphony instance you're connected to.
  3. If none of the above applies, contact your internal IT team or the Symphony Support team at support@symphony.com to see if there is any other issue or maintenance work which could be causing the issue.

Infinite looping/loading button

An infinite loop/loading button occurs when there is a configuration issue or ongoing maintenance on your pod.

To troubleshoot this:

  • Contact your internal IT team or the Symphony Support team at support@symphony.com to see if there is any other issue or maintenance work that could be causing the issue.
