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

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

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.

    Brilliant, appears http.request.cookies does the trick.

    response.cookies.name.get for some reason doesn't work.

    Thanks for that :)
