Login issue within the IDE

[JB_Dev]

Hey all, first and foremost I'm new to the embedded systems space, I've been trying to get my feet wet with a hello world project but for some reason with Cube 1.17.0 I'm missing the "MyST" login tab at the top of the screen. I've tried Re-installing thinking I had done something wrong during the original process to no avail. For further context I have a Linux system with the IDE installed and code generation worked properly on it however I found endless issues with the debugger and decided it might be an issue with Linux so I gave up and installed it into my windows machine to see if that helped with anything and now this is my new issue. To get around this issue as the ide suggested I navigated to "Help->stm32Cube Updates->Connection to my ST" and logged in through there and tried to create a new project and still it gave me the error as if I wasn't signed in, tried the same method again and it told me my session had expired, I haven't tried code generation just yet because as far as I understand I need to be logged in to do so I imagined it would be a wasted effort but I will report back after an attempt to do so. I'm not sure if the Linux install is a previous version as well but it may be the case

Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

Update:

Issue is still not resolved of course, I also tried generating code using the "Device configuration tool" button on the toolbar and as expected it didn't generate any code and did not generate the basic file structure as it usually would. 

Just wanted to put that out there for anyone wondering and some more context

Please feel free to comment, I've been trying to get this hello world project done for the better part of two weeks now so any help is appreciated

Hi,

I got the same issue. I've installed STM32cubeIDE just today and ccannot connect to ST from it either, so code generation doesn't work for me as well.

So Weird, Are you on windows 10 by chance? Have you taken any steps to try and resolve the issue? I'm gonna assume this is the first time you've dealt with cube as well based on your wording is that correct?? Sorry for the question spam here but just trying to see if we could replicate the issue for problem solving purposes.

I'm on Windows 11. I didn't take any steps so far as I expect this is issue on the STM side - this problem has been reported a couple of times in the past and got resolved by them. Also when I check connection using: "Window->Preferences->STM32Cube-> Firmaware Updater -> Check connection" then I get green check mark as a result so I understand that there is no actual issue with the connection only with authentication on the ST side.

Could you please briefly describe what was the solution in the link you provider? Unfortunately I cannot access it, I get "access denied"

Ah, sorry. This is a message on the internal forum.

It announced that starting from 1.17.0 the MyST is removed from the main menu bar. It will be under Help-> STM32CubeUpdate -> Connection to MyST. 

Click the blue button "Enter MyST account information".

I have tried that before posting here (actually a couple of times) and that didn't work. But I've tried it again just now and all works fine (same credential used), I get logged and the code is being generated.

So to me this clearly indicates there actually was an issue on the STM side, but I'm happy that it is resolved now. 

Thanks!
