Hi, anyone any idea why we are suddenly receiving this error "the required anti-forgery cookie __requestverificationtoken is not present" and also windows sign-in dialogue box whenever we try to open File manager or delete an extension etc.

Only started happening this last week on an instance of DNN 9.4. I have tried clearing all cookies, it is the same on multiple browsers. It is as though the admin pages are not being served by SSL despite using the force SSL settings being set correctly

Is there a file, assembly or web config setting that runs the above cookie that I can check

You will see plenty of discussion of something that looks like this or is related at https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform/issues/3380

One comment near the end: I had a same issue and I found out it was because SSL was enabled and forced in site settings how ever ssl was not enabled on the pages. so enabling SSL on tabs will fix the issue.

You might look at this. There was also a remark that an enhancement or fix would be looked at in 9.5.0.

Thank's Joe, I did not receive an alert for your reply so sorry for delay. All the content pages are fine it is only the admin pages that are showing the issue causing problems so i will have a look in the database and see if I can manually set one to test.
