OK, now widgets are OK, OGSi is working, agents are enabled, widgets deployed

When I try to open the Updates widget I am being asked to complete the OAuth authorization procedure. I click on the link and instead of getting to the page to approve or deny the authorization, I get

We are unable to process your request

The request issued by the application requesting access to your IBM Connections account was invalid. Click the browser back button to return to the site or application that sent you here and try again. If this error persists, report the problem to your administrator.

Here is the link

https://conn.acme.com/oauth2/endpoint/connectionsProvider/authorize?client_id=EEGadgetsSSL&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.acme.com%2Ffiesta%2Fgadgets%2Foauth2callback&response_type=code&scope=Connections&state=q9HYCgWBX2ZsgxT6MTh9fH-1232yrBQhnASkUpgsURu9IYVJsM8GkYJwTL5sRUAhG4I8BwtLuF5xY8WPjmh2Rr25eD8GrCtaXJz0abUtAVJckpkXn5AwyQigx-oNQL0kHNXyXtSnuSdg-pF0TenPDP1z28HgV0bKlk38fUo2pWb4nlqzlOo9AJBcwsv7IbSwfco-ir0CJ-YRjp19r5zoj-TcOJpTiAKgbCNAkzqyOVgzRFY_v5y3dAGAa3PGY_cmG28Xec68VVVfHoyKSRFWszNiwg2sxW9oTwAgnmbAxaegnzdW

No errors are visible in the Connections log however in the HTTP server log I see that my client IP is requesting the URL I pasted and then Connections is requesting the oauth error page URL. But I could not find any log messages, also debug and tracing settings for OAuth are not described in Connections documentation.

RE: OpenSocial again, 403
The URL to Connections has this as a query parameter: redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.acme.com%2Ffiesta%2Fgadgets%2Foauth2callback

Is that redirect_uri the same one you registered with Connections when you registered the OAuth client?  They need to match exactly, including the scheme.  If you don't have SSL enabled on Domino you can change the redirect_uri that domino generates.
