Please help with ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate

I get this exception first time I am trying to login with the default admin@admin.com account after unpacking the distro files.

 

 

[HttpException (0x80004005): Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

Re: Please help with ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate

Hi Gene,

This often happens when there is a long period of delay between the submission of a form and the page load. It could also be caused by lack of memory for the application. What version of Windows is mojoPortal running on?

Thanks,
-Isaac

Re: Please help with ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate

Thank you for a response any help is greatly appreciated.

I consistently and very quickly (31ms)  get the exception any time I click "Sign In" button on /Secure/Login.aspx?returnurl=%2f. I have tried this on two different servers now, both running:

windows 2008R2

IIS7.5 

DotNet 4.6   

SQL 2014 

 

mojosource

mojoportal-2-5-0-0-mssql.zip

Re: Please help with ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate

Gene,

We have several mojoPortal servers running that same configuration and haven't run into this problem. I've added you to our Complimentary Support group, so you now have access to the form on this page: https://www.mojoportal.com/complimentary-support

If you're up for it, use that form to send us the necessary info to log in to your server so we can try to find the issue.

Thanks!

Re: Please help with ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate

Found a workaround for this issue, looks like my problem is not with viewstate but with session, when I try to access the portal website from a different system i.e. not the one I am running the IIS on, I am able to login. I suspect it is not happy with the cookie domain. Thank you for your help. I will upload the logs to the support portal.
