  • Hi MustphaBassim,

    Browsers tipically open multiple TCP sessions to a server when transferring data, so it might happen that some of those sessions go to a server and some to another. When you consider authentication, the server you authenticated to allows you to see the content, but the other does not. That might be why you're getting redirected to the login page.

    So I would suggest having a persistence profile in place (maybe based on source address, maybe cookie). Want to try that?
