# X_AUTH_SIGN_IN_UNCONFIGURED

## Means

a people-facing role started with no sign-in settings outside development and test

## Typical cause

x g sign-in wrote a boot guard, and a web or sync role started with the sign-in env keys unset

## Fix

`export <KEY>="<value>"` for every unset key the cause names — in the role's deployed environment (compose environment:, the platform's secrets), then restart the role
