I have 2 sites running on the same machine. For some reason, one of the sites is having trouble logging in to the Umbraco backoffice. The PostLogin endpoint throws: Unable to connect to the remote server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:443 when I try to sign in.
I have no SSL cert on the machine itself, I believe it's in the netscaler. Hence it makes sense why the request fails. I have tried setting umbracoUseSSL to false, but it still insists on using port 443. Also, I've tried an explicit umbracoApplicationUrl="http://localhost:8081/umbraco" but the problem remains.
I believe that the problem is that umbraco is trying to make a qualified guess about it's URL when using the PostLogin endpoint. Since I don't have an SSL certificate on the machine itself, is there any way to force it to use port 80 for the requests? Or set the request urls explicitly? I have tried the methods in my previous post without success.

Hi,
If both sites are running on localhost this is a known issue and a limitation of cookies.
The Umbraco auth tokens are stored against localhost and hte port numbers don't get considered so Site A will struggle with Site B's cookies.
Easiest fix I've found is to do one of the following:

What value have you got in the web.config for umbracoUseSSL (v7) or Umbraco.Core.UseHttps (v8) ?
I'm using Umbraco 7 and
umbracoUseSSLis set to false. Setting it to true seems to cause an infinite redirect loop.is working on a reply...
