Validation of viewstate MAC failed- Error when I want to login.

Hi Joe Davis,

After long time I decided to use new version of Mojo. Its very good with bootstrap skins. Thanks!

But after I install new version 2.5.0.0 on local host, after a day when i wanted to login, when enter admin@admin.com, admin and clock to sign in; "Validation of viewstate MAC failed" shown for me. I try to change machinekey in iis and  study all other topics but don't result! I delete site from iis and unzip again an  new installation with new db but problem don't resolve. Inevitably, I install mojo on server that i have several last version of mojo sites on it. It's work when I use remote desktop on server, but in my pc when I want to login to edit my site again same error!!!!!!

Please see this error on hajonabi.com.

Re: Validation of viewstate MAC failed- Error when I want to login.

Seems that you may have a caching issue. The login cookie is cached for a while if you check the remember me option when logging in. 

Try clearing your browser cache and deleting cookies for the local hostname you're using.

Thanks,
Joe

Re: Validation of viewstate MAC failed- Error when I want to login.

Hi Davis and Sadegh,

I have same problem when try to login to new mojoportal. When I try to login using Microsoft Edge and mojoportal 2.5.0 , I notice that I can login without any problem from my server remote desktop. but can't login from local.

Finally I notice that there is a link to http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/4.5/6/webformsbundle.js and another one, [Sadegh may have same experience] our ISP block access to this server (aspnetcdn) and therefore needed javascript cant be load and I think the validation error must be related to this one.

Some month ago I have this problem after few days again we have access to above url and therefor can login and again these days URL blocked by ISP.

What's your idea?

Regards

Mehdi Alidoost

Re: Validation of viewstate MAC failed- Error when I want to login.

Hi,

You need to configure mojoPortal to not use the ASPNETCDN or ask your ISP to stop blocking it. Seems silly for them to block it.

Check out this new document for how to tell mojoPortal to use locally hosted files. We'll be adding to this document but I wanted to get it to you as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Joe

Re: Validation of viewstate MAC failed- Error when I want to login.

Hi Joe & Mehdi,

I use an anti filter software(free gate) and problem has be resolved!!! That is a quick way!smiley

This is a good way that use local source instead of CDN for this problem, because Iranian ISPs block various of sites and cdn ,...

Thanks for your help, friends!
