The code where this happens is in: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/impl/xwiki/MyPersistentLoginManager.java#L564
I have to admit that I do not know much about that corner of XWiki code some random pointers: There is some hint that switching IP's might cause the problem, as in: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-2463 so maybe setting: xwiki.authentication.useip=false in WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg could help. Then, you can set xwiki.authentication.protection=none which should make the problem go away, but of course at the cost that the authenticator does not check the cookie is encrypted with the given key in xwiki.cfg. Aside of that I remember having a similar problem some time ago after changing the xwiki.authentication.validationKey / xwiki.authentication.encryptionKey in xwiki.cfg; but that vanished after clearing *all* cookies in the browser once. As I understood your users have already done this, so it is probably not related to this problem. ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Tobias Kirchhofer Am: Wednesday, 09.03.2016, 13:40 An: Xwiki Users Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] Login cookie validation hash mismatch!
