I put my home run server in offline mode due to all the shenanigans going on, but now it doesn't recognize my player name when I try to login. For example it said I wasn't on the whitelist, which was true, because I had OP'd myself and didn't need to be. So I added my player to the white list in the console window in MSDOS (running a spigot 1.8 server FYI), and confirmed it was added to the json file. Restarted the server and tried to connect, still told I wasn't on the white list.
So I turned the white list off in the server properties, now I can get into my server, but I'm not OP'd, even though according to my json files, I am. Its as if now I'm in offline mode its not even reading the usual json files. Never ran my server in offline mode before, does it look for different files or something? Note, this is not single player LAN. This is still my Spigot 1.8 server that I run on a PC here that I have turned into a makeshift home media server.
Hey for any server hosters here i have a quick fix that might help, for this temporary inconvenience, Download - xAuth, Then go in to server properties and turn the online mode to offline, (Will still allow players to connect, no worries). Restart the server, players will be able to join, if they have a paid minecraft account and they will start with no items, unless there are starter items, Admins or ops may have to trust them to claims ect, When multiplayer servers are back online u should turn it back to online, everyone will have their items back and start where they logged off b4 the offline mode, Tell players (when the authentication minecraft mojang problem is fixed to login/register their account to the xAuth so if it happens in future it will not be a problem of playing 2 players. (Hope this helps)

Offline servers use player names instead of UUID's. You have to re-op yourself again.
Has Mojang ever been DDOSed before? My friend told me server authentications were down for a whole day once.
