MORE INFORMATION

In the "Enabling Authfilter for Supplier Solution Site" section, the following is stated:

Important Information about Using AuthFilter

If you unpack a site to the virtual directory on IIS with AuthFilter enabled, you must uncheck the application level property, Set cookie path to application. This property represents the path property set on cookies. By default the flag is enabled to set this to the virtual directory of the site (for example, /retail). By unchecking the box the root (/) is set as the path property for your cookies. You must restart IIS after updating this property.

The "virtual directory" in the first sentence should be "root directory." That is, when a site is unpacked to the root directory on the computer running Internet Information Services (IIS), you must disable (uncheck) the Set cookie path to application property option. Therefore, if you unpack a site to the root directory on IIS with AuthFilter enabled, you must uncheck the application level property.
