When the authorisation cookies expire (CF_Authorization) it redirects the user to a generic error page. Image bellow
The expected behaviour is to show the refresh pop-up page. that happens when the Discourse _t cookie expires. Image below.
Ideas that didn’t work:
Does anyone have an idea how can we solve this issue?
Other than breaking discourse, what problem is the cloudflare authorization solving?
I thought that there was a site setting for how long discourse cookies last, but maybe it’s hidden.
I’m not sure. The CF_Authorization is not a Discourse cookie. The problem is that the Cloudflare cookie triggers before the Discourse cookie _t.
You can try changing persistent sessions or maximum session age.
Why is the cloudflare cookie important?
I’m not sure. I will try to get more info on that.
I think you’d need to delete your existing cookies after changing those settings. They will affect only new sessions and be cookies.
Still not working. I open the forum in a Anonymous browser and after deleting the CF_Authorization cookie the same generic page was shown.
Oh, sorry. I guess I don’t understand what that cloudflare thing is doing. Can you do without it?
