I am wondering why Active Directory provider and a Cookie cant co-exist?

I have installed your most recent provider 5.00.04, and also both of Will Strohl's widget suite (v1.04) and his stand alone module the "Cookie Checker".  In both instances of trying to use either I always get an error when I block cookies in the browser settings.  The error I get in Chrome is:

The webpage at: http://WebSiteName/DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/ActiveDirectory/WindowsSignin.aspx  has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

It's been years since I last looked at this but, basically, IIS needed to create a cookie or it got put into a never ending loop because it couldn't tell if the user had authenticated or not. What happens is it checks to see what authentication mode the user is in and because there's no cookie it fires the authentication procedure and redirects to WindowsSignin.aspx. On the next pass it repeats the same procedure. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Thanks Mike,

I guess I will have to change the code for that.
You would think it should only check once - then no log in - that's it?
Am I correct here?

Why would it keep repeating?

The redirect happens in the HttpModule AuthenticationModule.vb which is called as part of the or section of your web.config. I don't have all the details but, as I've observed, everything in those sections is checked multiple times every page load. I suspect that it happens for every module that's loaded but I could be wrong. Whatever the reason for the multiple hits it happens and is the reason why it keeps repeating. It's something outside of my control in the provider.
