WebApi fails to write cookie Started By Declan Ward I am building a custom login module to redirect the user to different pages based on the 'type' of user. Users may be in certain roles or not a DNN user at all. I write a cookie to be read by a module on the target page denoting the type of user along with some other info. If the user is a non DNN user the cookie is written as expected. If the user is a DNN user, and logged in successfully, the cookie fails to write.

404 with web api Started By TopCat I am trying to create a DNN module by following Clint Patterson's tutorial from 2014. When I get to the Hello World Web API test I get a 404 error. Research shows that Web API changed in DNN 9.4 and I am wondering if this is the cause of my 404. If so, what is the proper way to do a Web Api call now Later... got this to work, so no worries. Thanks.	5	3035	4	6/28/2020 7:17 PM by TopCat

Anti forgery token problem on Windows 2019 Started By jacoch Hi. We have recently move a web site to a new Windows 2019 server.
