[rt-users] RT with pubcookie/External Auth

[Joby Walker]

By 'eternal loop' do you mean that that the browser gets redirected 
between your weblogin server and your rt instance?  If so this is a 
problem with how you set up pubcookie, most likely your keys are not 
properly setup so that you cannot decode the the cookies properly. 
Check your Apache logs.
