3. Set URL Convar (Optional)

If you wish to use a custom login page, you can set a convar in your server.cfg. The easiest way to show your custom login page is to use a query string.

setr sonorantablet_cadUrl "YOUR_URL_HERE"

Fill in with your actual URL above with the comid you want.

Known Issues

Tablet SSO Sign In via Discord/Apple

The in-game tablet utilizes an iFrame. Because Apple and Discord have disabled their oauth pages from being viewed inside of an iFrame, users will be unable to use these sign in methods from in-game.

1. Utilize the official Desktop App Overlay system

Steam Browser - Workaround

2. Link your Discord/Apple created account to a Sonoran login email/password.

Because your account was created using Discord/Apple, your email does not yet have a password set to login via Sonoran.

1. Navigate to the account website -> Recover Password

2. Enter in the email address of the Discord/Apple account

3. Check your email for a link to setting your new password

4. Sign-in on the Tablet using the Sonoran sign-in method (Discord can still be used elsewhere)

If you are having an issue using the Sonoran sign-ing method please see below.

Timeout SonoranCAD::mini:CallSync

Some users may see SonoranCAD::mini:CallSync listed multiple times after recieving a timeout.

When your client recieves a timeout from the server for any reason, it will display a list of the most recent requests. Because Sonoran's Mini-CAD runs frequent sync requests, these will consequenty be displayed.

This is not an issue with or related to Sonoran CAD. This is a general timeout between the client and server listing all recent calls as diagnostic information.
