Resolving view state message authentication code (MAC) errors

Posted on 2:02 AM by Softminer and filed under

This problem happens when your asp.net application runs on web farms
Adding enableViewStateMac="false" to webform may solve the problem but it's not recommended.

<configuration> 
    <system.web> 
        <machineKey decryptionKey="xx,IsolateApps" validationKey="xxx,IsolateApps" />
