SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of handling distributed token cache collisions and stale entries in ASP.NET Core applications, preventing authorization errors and ensuring seamless user authentication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Token Cache Collision Handling: Detects and recovers from cache collisions caused by multiple tokens or cache inconsistencies.
  • Error Management: Implements robust error detection and automatic sign-out to maintain application stability.
  • Use Case: Ideal for multi-instance web applications using SQL-backed distributed caches that experience token conflicts during app recycles or high concurrency.

Quick Start

Configure ASP.NET Core to use the custom cookie event handler and SQL cache, then authentication will automatically recover from token cache errors.

FAQPage Schema
Why does MSAL token cache collision happen in ASP.NET Core multi-instance applications?

MSAL token cache collisions happen in ASP.NET Core when concurrent multi-instance web apps access a shared SQL-backed distributed cache, causing inconsistencies and stale entries during app recycles. This triggers authorization errors and disrupts user authentication.

How do I handle MSAL distributed cache errors and prevent stale token entries?

Handle MSAL distributed cache errors by configuring ASP.NET Core with a custom cookie event handler and SQL cache. This setup detects token cache collisions, implements automatic sign-out for error recovery, and prevents stale token entries from disrupting authentication.

Does this MSAL cache handling approach work with SQL-backed distributed caches?

Yes, this MSAL cache handling approach specifically works with SQL-backed distributed caches in ASP.NET Core. It detects and recovers from token conflicts during app recycles or high concurrency, making it ideal for multi-instance web applications experiencing token cache errors.

What is the best way to recover from MSAL token cache collisions during app recycles?

The best way to recover from MSAL token cache collisions is implementing robust error detection with a custom cookie event handler in ASP.NET Core. This manages automatic sign-out to maintain application stability and ensures seamless user authentication recovery.

How do I configure ASP.NET Core to automatically recover from token cache errors?

Configure ASP.NET Core to use a custom cookie event handler and a SQL distributed cache. This setup automatically detects token cache collisions and recovers authentication, preventing authorization errors without requiring manual intervention.
