Authentication plugin getting redirected after successful login

Need Help
1

Currently have an issue: Im migrating from authcomponent to the authentication plugin and for some reason, after a successful login, im still getting redirected back to the login page.

$result = $this->Authentication->getResult();
if ($result->isValid()) {
//some logic for updating some database fields (last login etc)

    $target = $this->Authentication->getLoginRedirect();
     if (!$target) {
         $target = ['controller' => 'Accounts', 'action' => 'index'];
     }
         return $this->redirect($target);
}
//wrong password error logic here

After logging in, it starts a redirect loop between accounts/ and users/login.
If i change the unAuthenticatedRedirect to something random, it still redirect to login, so its seems to be authenticated?

AuthenticationService setup:

        $authenticationService = new AuthenticationService([
            'unauthenticatedRedirect' => Router::url('/users/login'),
            'loginRedirect' => Router::url('/accounts'),
            'logoutRedirect' => Router::url('/users/login'),
            'queryParam' => 'redirect',
        ]);
//authenticators and identifiers....

Everything is based off either the CMS tutorial or the migration guide.

To me this seems like accounts/ is not allowed to be accessed as a logged in user.
Do you have the authorization plugin enabled as well?

No, i don’t have the authorization plugin enabled.

Also I just noticed: Some of your config values for the AuthenticationService aren’t present like the loginRedirect or logoutRedirect.
See authentication/AuthenticationService.php at 2.x · cakephp/authentication · GitHub

I would debug the AuthenticationMiddleware in authentication/AuthenticationMiddleware.php at 2.x · cakephp/authentication · GitHub so you know what exactly is the problem on your side. Can’t really tell with the information given till now.
