Diagnosis

Kiln authentication is depending on FogBugz authentication. Kiln uses cross-domain cookies to authenticate using FogBugz's authentication engine.

The latest browsers, step-by-step, are enforcing stricter cross-domain cookie policies by enforcing proper usage of the SameSite cookie attribute.

This stricter policy results in Kiln not able to authenticate without first logging in to FogBugz.
