problem with macro and signatures

endika cu asked on March 28, 2022 14:29

Hello, I am using a macro but it gives me the following error in the log:

Security check of the expression 'Documents.ClassNames("Table").WithAllData.Where("TableID = 'XXXX'")[0].GetValue("stadium")|(identity)GlobalAdministrator' didn't pass. The signature is not valid.

I have updated the macro signature, but it still gives the same error. The macro works by testing it in " System --> Macro --> Console"

I don't know if it has anything to do with it... but the macro is used in a "Localize" element (it has "|(recursive) true" set, so that's not the problem... the same element has another macro simple ones like "CurrentDocument.DocumentName" which resolves them just fine.

Does anyone have anything else I can try? Thanks a lot

Hi Endika,

You mentioned you updated the macro signature. Did you go to System > Macro > Signatures, selected both checkboxes ("Old salt: Sign all macros" and "New salt: Use the current salt") and clicked "Update macro signatures"? Were there any errors during this process?

What version and hotfix are you using and where and how is the macro used/inserted? Are you using web farms, staging, export/import? If yes, check the web.config file and make sure the hash salt string key has the same value for all instances of Kentico.

I am using version v11.0.1. I'm using staging to go from pre-production to production (even though the macro doesn't work in either place). The only key I see in the web.cofig is CMSHashStringSalt...

Thanks

And is the value of this key the same across all the staging environments?

yes... is the same.

the macro is set in Localize... I think it has something to do with the fact that signing all the macros again does not "update" something to that macro...

What code or what macro is resolving this nested macro? In other words, how to reproduce the issue in an out of the box instance?

It is used to write a description dynamically. For example in this URL (Right now the macro is ONLY in the es-ES version):

view-source:https://www.footballhost.com/es/Tickets/FHMatchs/La-Liga-(es)/2022-04-17/La-Liga-Jornada-32-Barcelona-Cadiz

in the image it is seen how it does NOT solve, and in log it gives the initial error.: Image Text

Thank you!
