Description Vladimir Riha 2014-02-15 15:56:46 UTC 
It looks like the service for validating nb.org sessions is down and cannot validate SSO "cookies" to check if user is logged in or not. Synergy ([1]) uses it for authentication and without that people cannot test NB 8.0 using Synergy. 

I think plugins.netbeans.org uses the same mechanism and it also shows user as not logged in.

The used URL for validation is 

https://netbeans.org/***/validate/

The exception reporter from within NetBeans IDE also does not accept my valid passwort. So I guess it uses the same authentication server.
Comment 2 Vladimir Riha 2014-02-17 08:06:39 UTC 
seems to work again
