What does the below modsecurity(modsecurity_ams_14_r4_directory_block) error/warning mean?

The session becomes invalid after few seconds for a deep link login only in production env. It works fine in the lower env that also has CDN.

Hi @chinmayis865517 

It seems the welcome url is blocked by a rule written at line 11 in modsecurity_ams_14_r4_directory_block_logonly.conf file. Please check similar thread
