When signing in from the LMS, the authentication request succeeds but
the user was never redirected to the dashboard. This is because of a
js error:
Uncaught TypeError: userCookie is null
userFromEdxUserCookie
http://maple.openedx.overhang.io:8000/static/js/student_account/utils.js:32
The error comes from the fact that the util.js code ignores the
EDXAPP_EDXMKTG_USER_INFO_COOKIE_NAME setting name. Instead the cookie
name is abritrarily prefixed by "stage-" or "prod-" depending on the
hostname. This seems to be primarily motivated by the definition of
edX.org staging/prod environment hostnames :-(
To resolve this issue, we decided that the actual cookie name was not so
important. Instead, the js code needs to not crash even when the cookie
is absent.
