Rocket.chat.reactnative: [BUG] other login methods are offered on SAML only login, SAML login button not colored

Created on 10 Nov 2019  路  10Comments  路  Source: RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative

Describe the bug

Although a RC server only allows SAML as authentication method, the app offers the login via e-mail or the creation of an account.

The button of the SAML login is not colored in the configured color. The color of the SAML button is white, so that it is not perceived as a button, but as a hint text. This is a very misleading user guidance!

@localguru It was fixed yesterday on #1727. I'll release a beta for Experimental later today.

still in version 4.1.0

Anyway to escalate this issue. I would think that any piece of software that shows two login buttons would want to fix that kind of bug.

Anything new on it? It confuses my users more and more, especially since the Shibboleth button is only highlighted in white.

I was hoping someone from the community would fix it, as it's very easy to implement.
Since nobody did it, let's schedule for 4.4.0 and I'll do it myself.

@diegolmello Is there already a schedule for a fix? We receive several requests daily from users who overlook the button for login via Shibboleth and try to use their email address or think they need to create an account. This is extremely confusing for normal users. It also makes no sense to offer other authentication methods if the server only offers Sibboleth/SAML and no account creation. It would be great if you could fix it soon.

@localguru It was fixed yesterday on #1727. I'll release a beta for Experimental later today.

@diegolmello This is great, even with the color of the button! Thank you, Diego!

Kudos to @djorkaeffalexandre (:

In what version of the stable mobile app should this be appearing? I have 4.4.0.2107 and am still seeing the problem. I assume the fix is coming in the next version?

@mddvul22 Official beta coming next Monday. It's on Experimental beta if you want to try it out.
