Failed to validate oauth signature and token

Can you tell us exactly how you updated your server’s internal clock?

SabkaTraffic · 2011-09-01T00:18:39.000Z

I’m having the same issue and also using the same library. I know how to update my clock, but I don’t see that much of a time difference. What was the offset of your clock?

Setting a system clock varies from environment to environment.

In a UNIX-based environment, you can set the clock using the “date” command. Most Linux distros, Mac & Windows should all have options to sync your clock with a NTP server.

You should be within about 5 minutes of our servers. You can determine the delta between your machine and ours by examining the Date HTTP header we send in response to every request. By converting that to UTC epoch time in seconds and comparing to your current UTC epoch time in seconds, you can determine how many seconds behind your clock is from ours.

If It Fails, Try using Another Computer. If It Fails Again, You Can Update Your Server’s Internal Clock… It Should Be Working Good Again After You Do These 2 Options…

Hi there, guys I have same problem, even dont know what to do, in my local it works fine , but on server I am getting that popular error “Failed to validate oauth signature and token”, I tried to fix server clock, but it’s ok, and I can see more then 5 minutes delta.I am just thinking, I am in GMT+4 timezone, can this effect on this???

episod · 2012-04-12T14:56:25.000Z

It’s possible this is still timezone conversion related… when you’re checking the delta, how are you comparing times? Are you looking at the Date header we’re sending in our responses, then either converting the string into epoch time in seconds or converting your local time object into epoch time in seconds, and comparing?

Como faço para minha conta ser verificada ? Eu preciso ! Por favor …

jerry_sunchen · 2012-07-20T16:40:50.000Z

I failed to get Oauth ways today. It turned out that my Ubuntu has updated its time automatically with Windows system (I install both systems on my laptop). As I traveled abroad and I changed my time zone on my Windows. Linux changed with the Windows at the same time. But it did not change the time zone. Thus today I failed many times to get authentication. Finally I changed the time zone and time manually. And it gets to work again…
Yet I still don’t know why ubuntu would change with my windows since they are separated systems.

Naga_Prabu · 2013-01-07T13:07:35.000Z

that same error like “failed to validate oauth signature and token”

Naga_Prabu · 2013-01-07T13:12:17.000Z

is there any new update in my php info() to avoid the error “Failed to validate oauth signature and token” ?

campbelljustin · 2013-05-01T17:10:36.000Z

This time thing is extremely dumb considering many developers don’t have the ability to control their server’s system time.

In the mean time: just request the headers from some random server (like Twitter!) parse out the Date returned, and then feed it back to them. Works like a charm, so far, albeit slower execution.
