SharePoint Server 2013: Unable to login using Google Chrome for Form-Based Authentication

Question

SharePoint Server 2013: Unable to login using Google Chrome for Form-Based Authentication

Kok Wei 1

In our RC environment, we have a custom login page for FBA. When attempting to login with valid username and password using chrome, it redirects back to the same login page.
When I look into the F12 developer tools, there is an error related to the FedAuth cookies.

If I try to login using IE, there is no issue and I am able to login successfully.

For our Prod environment, we have the same login page and when I try to login using chrome, there is no issue and able to login successfully.
I have checked the settings in central admin and seems like the settings are identical in both environment, not sure anything else that I have missed out.
Anyone here encountered the same issue with the FedAuth using chrome?

@Kok Wei ,

If you are using Chrome version 80 or later, please note the cookie new security feature:

A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at <URL> was set with the SameSite attribute. It has been blocked, as Chrome now only delivers cookies with cross-site requests if they are set with SameSite=None and Secure. You can review cookies in developer tools under Application>Storage>Cookies.

To resolve this issue, please install at least May 12, 2020 CU for SharePoint 2013, which will include a fix for the SameSite cookie issue.

Thank you for your feedback.

We have already installed Jan 12, 2021 CU update. But when I try to run SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard, it get blocked saying one of the server was missing update. I checked the installed update in Control Panel of that server and confirmed the updates are already installed. When I check the manage servers in central admin, it shows it is not configured.

Could you advice how to proceed so that I am able to run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard?

@Kok Wei ,

Installation Required means the server still not yet installed with the same CU that already installed in other servers in the farm.

Upgrade Blocked means the server is blocked from upgrade as they are on latest CU than other servers in the Farm. Current Server is installed with latest CU and it will remained blocked until all the other SP servers in the farm are installed with the same version.

Uninstall the update on the problematic server, restart the server, reinstall the update, and then run ps config on each server again.

We have tried to disconnect and re-connect the server back to the farm.
Then the update missing issue was resolved.

We are still trying to run Configuration Wizard to upgrade the database.
Will update here whether the Chrome issue is resolved after the upgrade of databases.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi @JulieWang-MSFT ,

The Configuration Wizard ran successfully and the upgrade of database is successful.

I will only be able to test the chrome issue on March and will update here again after that.

Thank You.

Sorry for the late response.
We have tested the login recently after we have installed the update, and the issue still persist. Not sure if I missed anything.

Thanks.
