Keeps redirecting to login page

[tech-thanoshotels]

I am using asp.net 4.8 and in the production environment sometime the login does not work. As soon as I recycle the app pool then users can login.

I have updated via nuget to version 4.2.2 and other projects running version 4.2.0 does not seem to have the problem. Any ideas ?

Can you share a Fiddler trace?

We have tried several things, from generating a unique machine key to changing versions of the below to the latest and to previous versions but no option worked. Please also find attached a fiddler trace. If you see in the trace the user trying to login to the https://hr.thanoshotels-apps.com/Login page and entered correctly his credentials. The system authenticated him (see below my code for doing that) and I also have a record saved to verify that the authentication was successful but for some reason he was treated as not authenticated and returned to login page. ***@***.*** ***@***.*** Code to authenticate user (used the same as the standard asp.net project creation using identity) see below ***@***.*** Also in the login page I have this code which if the user is indeed authenticated it rectirects them to correct page. ***@***.*** Kindly let us know your thoughts on this.

Most of that didn't come through, including the attachment. You'll have to post them directly on github, or send it to the address in my profile.

Your login response is not including any cookies, but it does include the cache headers that would normally be set with the cookies. Try the following workaround:

This refers though to asp.net core, we are using asp.net 4.8 web forms project or it does not matter ? Also any ideas why it does happen randomly ? and why once I recycle the app pool then the logins works without issue From: Chris Ross ***@***.***> Sent: 1 November, 2022 10:43 PM To: aspnet/AspNetKatana ***@***.***> Cc: Ioannis Ioannou - Software Engineering Manager Thanos Hotels ***@***.***>; Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [aspnet/AspNetKatana] Keeps redirecting to login page (Issue #482) Your login response is not including any cookies, but it does include the cache headers that would normally be set with the cookies.

That writeup is about Katana and ASP.NET 4.8, not AspNetCore.

The issue can appear randomly because of conflicts with other cookies in the application.
