Cascade Created Login Redirect Loop

After Cascade refactored your authentication flow, users get caught in infinite redirects between login and home page. The session is created but the redirect logic continuously checks for authentication and loops back.

This typically happens when Cascade modified session validation, redirect filters, or authentication success handlers without properly understanding the existing flow.

Error Messages You Might See

Redirect from localhost:8080/login to localhost:8080/home to localhost:8080/login Too many redirects This page isn't redirecting properly
Redirect from localhost:8080/login to localhost:8080/home to localhost:8080/loginToo many redirectsThis page isn't redirecting properly

Common Causes

  1. Cascade modified AuthenticationSuccessHandler without preserving original redirect URL logic
  2. Session validation middleware added by Cascade runs after authentication, rejecting valid sessions
  3. Cascade removed conditional checks that determined when redirect should happen
  4. CSRF token validation conflicts with session creation in new auth flow

How to Fix It

Review the git diff for changes to WebSecurityConfig, authentication controllers, and filter chains. Look for removed conditional logic around session checks. Cascade may have simplified the logic incorrectly. Restore original session handling and ensure the authentication success handler sets the correct redirect target without looping.
