This question relies quite a bit on the question/answer here:
Reconnecting to Servicestack session in an asp.net MVC4 application
Basically, I have an asp.net MVC application that is using ServiceStack for authentication. As suggested in the question mentioned above I am adding a session cookie to the response and then adding it to the jsonserviceclient cookie container later.
Using this code to authenticate the user at the login screen:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult login(UserModel user)
{
try
{
var AuthResponse = client.Post(new Auth
{
provider = "credentials",
UserName = user.user_id,
Password = user.password,
RememberMe = true
});
if (AuthResponse.SessionId != null)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(AuthResponse.UserName, true);
var response = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ToResponse();
response.Cookies.AddSessionCookie(
SessionFeature.PermanentSessionId, AuthResponse.SessionId);
return Redirect("/Default");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return Redirect("/");
}
return View();
}
However, I am getting a null ref exception from the line:
response.Cookies.AddSessionCookie(SessionFeature.PermanentSessionId, AuthResponse.SessionId);
The stack trace looks like:
at ServiceStack.ServiceHost.Cookies.ToHttpCookie(Cookie cookie)
at ServiceStack.ServiceHost.Cookies.AddCookie(Cookie cookie)
at ServiceStack.ServiceHost.Cookies.AddSessionCookie(String cookieName, String cookieValue, Nullable`1 secureOnly)
at FmStoreScreenMvc3.Controllers.AuthController.login(UserModel user) in <project> 51
I'm wondering if anything seems obviously wrong with this configuration.
Update/note I have changed the offending line (Where the nullref is thrown) to:
response.Cookies.AddSessionCookie("foo", "bar", false);
I still get the same error. Just hunting for what is null and why
