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
Common Causes
- Cascade modified AuthenticationSuccessHandler without preserving original redirect URL logic
- Session validation middleware added by Cascade runs after authentication, rejecting valid sessions
- Cascade removed conditional checks that determined when redirect should happen
- 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.

How do I debug redirect loops?
Check browser console Network tab for redirect chain. Look at WebSecurityConfig permitAll() rules to ensure /login is accessible without authentication.
Why did Cascade create this?
Cascade may have tried to add security checks without understanding the existing authentication success handler flow.
