Description
Describe the bug
When using Zowe Explorer with a flat profile and no default base profile, an Manage Profile -> Login to Authentication Service will fail with the following error notification in VSCode:
Login failed: No base profile found to store SSO token for profile "<my_flat_profile>"
Base profiles will work for SSO login but are not strictly required; the flat profile can either be converted to a nested profile underneath another profile, or a default base profile can be added to the TC. The error message (as I read it) currently indicates base profiles are required for SSO.
To Reproduce
- Create a flat profile in TC.
- Add the profile, right-click
Manage Profile -> Login to Authentication Service. - See the misleading error dialog
Expected behavior
The dialog should better describe the problem and actions the user can take to address the issue.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: MacOS
- Zowe Explorer Version: 3.5.1
