Consequently, each web farm node can't decrypt data that's encrypted by an app on any other node. The default configuration isn't generally appropriate for hosting apps in a web farm. An alternative to implementing a shared key ring is to always route user requests to the same node. In a web farm environment, the caching mechanism must share cached items across the web farm's nodes.

Caching must either rely upon a common Redis cache, a shared SQL Server database, or a custom caching implementation that shares cached items across the web farm.

For more information, see Distributed caching in ASP. The following scenarios don't require additional configuration, but they depend on technologies that require configuration for web farms. When Data Protection or caching isn't configured for a web farm environment, intermittent errors occur when requests are processed.

This occurs because nodes don't share the same resources and user requests aren't always routed back to the same node. Consider a user who signs into the app using cookie authentication. The user signs into the app on one web farm node. If their next request arrives at the same node where they signed in, the app is able to decrypt the authentication cookie and allows access to the app's resource. If their next request arrives at a different node, the app can't decrypt the authentication cookie from the node where the user signed in, and authorization for the requested resource fails.

When any of the following symptoms occur intermittently , the problem is usually traced to improper Data Protection or caching configuration for a web farm environment:.
