Troubleshooting Bakery

Before carrying-out any recommended steps it may help to read about how Bakery works and what it means to use Bakery for single sign-on (SSO). See also the Bakery FAQ.

SSO doesn't work#
If single sign-on doesn't seem to work for some users try the following steps.

1. Clear Drupal site cache for each site in your Bakery cluster
2. Clear your browser cookies (search online for how to do this for your browser if you don't know)

If you're using Varnish, be sure that you're not removing the CHOCOLATECHIP cookie. For example, if you've got
