    What error do you get?

     

    You could also try getting the cookie via http.request.cookies:

    <#assign has_sso_cookie = http.request.cookies.name.get("mainsiteSSO") />

<#if user.anonymous && has_sso_cookie?? >
${http.response.setRedirectUrl(webUi.getUserLoginPageUrl)}
</#if>

I think the issue is that response.cookies.name.get returns a cookie object (if it exists) or null, rather than a boolean or string. So you need to check whether has_sso_cookie is null:

<#assign has_sso_cookie = response.cookies.name.get("mainsiteSSO") />

<#if user.anonymous && has_sso_cookie?? >
${http.response.setRedirectUrl(webUi.getUserLoginPageUrl)}
</#if>

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for that, tried the above example and for some reason it still doesn't work. If we set the script to remove the check on whether the cookie is present it works but as soon as we put that check in the script no longer runs when the conditions are correct.
