Yesterday, while I was using it on my phone, I lost the connection to my network.

Now my android Client is unable to authenticate.

The controller is up and the other tunnelers work just fine.

on the controller I can see

```auto
Oct 31 11:32:57 homeoverlay ziti[951]: 2025/10/31 11:32:57 WARN request error oidc_error.description="subject_token is invalid" oidc_error.type=invalid_request

```

I tried to reenroll the identity. From ZAC the identity seems enrolled, but no difference on my phone.

I just sent a debug email to developpers from my phone.

we are looking into OIDC auth issues. for now can you try turning of OIDC auth support in the controller? comment out `edge-oidc` binding block

Are you by chance using the `identity` configuration settings under `web` in your controller?

Example (See the “this section” comment in the YAML)

```auto
web:
  - name: all-apis-localhost
    bindPoints:
      - interface: 127.0.0.1:1280
        address: 127.0.0.1:1280

        # this section
        identity:
          cert: /some/path/to/some/cert.pem
          server_cert: /some/path/to/some/cert.pem
          key: /some/path/to/some/key.pem
          ca: /some/path/to/some/cas.pem
    apis:
      - binding: health-checks
      - binding: fabric
      - binding: edge-management
      - binding: edge-client
      - binding: edge-oidc

```

Do you mind sharing the root `identity` section? It is normally the first stanza in the config file.

Openziti has been configured with the quickstart on February and has been working fine since then.

Yesterday I was using some service with my phone while a was on a train. I lost data connection in a tunnel and I was not able to connect any more. I switched to VPN connection without looking at the app. Since today, when I found I was unauthanticated.

Every other client is still working fine.

I cleared android storage and enrolled a new identity without success.

ziti binay is ziti-1.6.7

</div>

I have been dealing with connectivity issues, and somewhat covered in [this thread](https://openziti.discourse.group/t/controller-and-router-upgrades-causing-connectivity-issues/5267)

I noticed that my android devices were unable to connect, but other tunnels, including new users (on android) connect perfectly.

I arrived here by noticing the `subject_token is invalid` error line in the controller logs.

I am running GrapheneOS, and I have Ziti Mobile Edge installed directly from GitHub via Obtainium.

Other users are running stock Android, and they exhibit no issues.

I have both the controller and router installed via helm.

I inspected the ConfigMap for the controller, and the OIDC section is blank:

```auto
  - binding: edge-oidc
    options: { }

```

I have been debugging this from every angle, and I am curious if there is something specific about the release directly from GitHub, or using GrapheneOS, or both.

This has been a recent failure, and it is quite maddening.

At this point, I think my upgrading the controller and router was not the issue, and feeling that the upgrade was the issue is a red herring. At the very least, it may have set all of this in motion.

My instinct tells me that it is something about a direct install and/or GrapheneOS.

Why it recently stopped functioning out of nowhere is something I have not been able to deduce.

One additional note, in the Android tunnel logs, I noticed this:

I’m using LineageOS and it recently stopped functioning out of nowhere.

I upgrade ziti binaries on controller and routers about a month ago

This is probably because Google Play store releases are delayed compared to Github releases. Before Google Play gets a new ZME release it is tested via Beta program.

the current release process is as follows:  
Github released -\> Google Play (Alpha) -\> Google Play (Beta) -\> Google Play (Production/general availability)

That was the problem!  
I started an issue here that will help to prevent things like this in the future: [Release Cadence Pairing With GA · Issue #379 · openziti/ziti-tunnel-android · GitHub](https://github.com/openziti/ziti-tunnel-android/issues/379)

Downgrading the apk I was able to authenticate again.

I'm abroad for a week and I really needed the android client to work.

And this has ben the major failure I experienced since installation.

Thanks for the config.

I have visually identified a potential bug that your config would trigger. @ekoby was asking some great questions that lead me to reading through it.

I am updating the integration tests today to verify the bug actually exists.

I've been very busy, but I'm still stuck with SDK 1.7 with android or Windows clients. If I upgrade the clients I'm getting the unable to authenticate error.

How can I modify my controller configuration?

Does the bug exist?
