Fix "Session Expired" Error

Archived Document Notice (2026-02-12): This file is retained for historical context and may not reflect current code, APIs, runtime defaults, CI status, or deployment posture. Use active documentation under docs/ as authoritative.

The Problem

The UI is loading an OLD token from localStorage (browser cache). That token has expired.

The Solution

Option 1: Clear Browser Storage (Recommended)

  1. Open Developer Tools (Press F12)
  2. Go to Application tab (Chrome) or Storage tab (Firefox)
  3. On the left, find Local Storage → http://localhost:3000
  4. Click Clear All or delete these keys:
    • icn-token
    • icn-token-expiry
    • icn-gateway
    • icn-coop
    • icn-did
  5. Refresh the page (F5)
  6. Login again with the new credentials

Option 2: Use Console to Clear

  1. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
  2. Go to Console tab
  3. Paste this command and press Enter:
    localStorage.clear();
location.reload();
  4. Login again with the new credentials

Option 3: Private/Incognito Window

  1. Open a new private/incognito window
  2. Go to http://localhost:3000
  3. Login with the new credentials

Option 4: Logout First

If you can see the dashboard:

  1. Click your profile/settings
  2. Click Sign Out or Logout
  3. Login again with the new credentials

Expires: 22:57 UTC (58 minutes from now)

Quick Console Command

Press F12, go to Console tab, paste this:

// Clear old credentials
localStorage.clear();

// Set new credentials
localStorage.setItem('icn-gateway', 'http://localhost:8080');
localStorage.setItem('icn-coop', 'rochester-tool-library');
localStorage.setItem('icn-did', 'did:icn:zBFnhJhgvRjgukhQmkq9ddBz5wiEt32ptkQkBDjWx6uPh');
localStorage.setItem('icn-token', 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJkaWQ6aWNuOnpCRm5oSmhndlJqZ3VraFFta3E5ZGRCejV3aUV0MzJwdGtRa0JEald4NnVQaCIsImlhdCI6MTc2NjA5NTA3MiwiZXhwIjoxNzY2MDk4NjcyLCJjb29wX2lkIjoicm9jaGVzdGVyLXRvb2wtbGlicmFyeSIsInNjb3BlcyI6WyJsZWRnZXI6cmVhZCIsImxlZGdlcjp3cml0ZSIsImNvb3A6cmVhZCIsImdvdjpyZWFkIiwiZ292OndyaXRlIl19.DvDXir5YbuSa5hLcg6WsBt6dZBIr9K4Drcc5bZFA6TM');
localStorage.setItem('icn-token-expiry', '1766098672000');

// Reload page
location.reload();

This will automatically set everything and reload the page. You should go straight to the dashboard!

Verify It Worked

After clearing and logging in, check the Console (F12) for:

  • ✅ No more "401 Unauthorized" errors
  • ✅ No more "session expired" messages
  • ✅ Balance loads (even if empty)
  • ✅ Dashboard displays

The token IS valid and works with the API - it's just a caching issue!
