IdentityServer3 constant redirect on login only on mobile

I have a problem where my identity server works great with no problems logging in users on desktop computers. However when i go to the webpage on a mobile app and log in I get a constant redirect situation.



It goes to the identity server the first time, I log in, and then when it redirects back to the app it automatically redirects back to identity server and back and forth.



If I stop the redirection (by hitting the stop button on the browser) then go to my site I am already logged in now.



I am using IdentityServer3 and Asp.Net Core.



The logs for the identity server show no error and successful logins. This happens if I log in with an external provider or a custom provider.



I thought it was something with safari but i installed chrome on my phone and it does the same thing.



I did some research and I don't think it is a http/https problem and I can not add the Session_start because it doesn't exist in core.



Can anyone think of a reason the mobile app would not work while the desktop app works fine? Any suggestions on any other logs i can check or things i can try?

          It's most likely a cookie storage problem. There are limits for cookie size that vary from browser to browser.




          1. After successful login browser gets redirected

          2. Server tries to set
            the cookie

          3. If cookie size exceeds the limit, browser gives a warning
            in the console, that cookie will be ignored

          4. Page reloads, but there
            is no authentication cookie set, so browser gets redirected to the
            login page

          5. Often "remember me" option is enabled, so cycle begins
            with step 1


          Try to reduce the cookie size.

          • I verified that OnTokenValidated is called in my client app. Immediately after OnRedirectToIdentityProvider is called. I was also thinking if its a cookie size problem then why does it work if i stop the redirects and refresh?
