Hi All,
On our OOD instance, it may occur that users need to wait some time for OOD to fully load (see example below).

There are no relevant details in /var/log/ondemand-nginx/.
This issue only appears when /pun?code=[...] gets called.
The actual authentication took 2.3 seconds (we use OpenID-Connect for authentication) - most of the delay seems to come from the PUN process initialization.
Is this a known issue?
Let me know in case you need more information about any specific configuration file.
In case the openidc-auth configuration file helps:

# openauth configurations
OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://login.microsoftonline.com/[...]/.well-known/openid-configuration
OIDCClientID […]
OIDCClientSecret […]

OIDCRedirectURI https://ood-server/pun
OIDCCryptoPassphrase […]

OIDCScope “openid email”
OIDCRemoteUserClaim […]

Thanks

Do you have any interactive apps that use a form.yml.erb and whose erb does something expensive?

Hi efranz,
No, there is none.
We have made some changes to the oidc configuration file and are currently testing to see if these changes improve loading time.
I’ll keep you posted

Hey @rotaugenlaubfrosch are you still experiencing slow start up times with no interactive apps?

Hi @rotaugenlaubfrosch did the changes to the oidc configuration end up helping with the load up times?
