Hello. I am on 4.9.1 and expierienced the error below which brought down the site. After recycling the server below, I can no longer log in as host or admin. I tried logging on as a random user with a fake password, and the authentication works - I got an incorrect login message, but when I try logging in as the host or admin, it simply goes back to the homepage - no error messages.  I want to nip this in the bud before my client becomes aware of the issue.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Were you ever able to get this resolved? I inherited a DNN project running an ASPDNSF module and unfortunately don't have the budget to upgrade to something stable. So here I am fighting it daily. And now suddenly one of our internal sites just stopped working. with the same (or similar) problem. To make matters worse, ASPDNSF ownership has changed hands atleast once since the DNN module and they will not support this version at all.

Here's my stack trace:
