Understanding URL Mismatch in Zendesk Login

Learn why URL mismatches cause login issues in Zendesk and how to resolve them by allowing third-party cookies.

Why does the URL mismatch cause issues with Zendesk login?

A URL mismatch can lead to login issues in Zendesk due to blocked cookies.

Host-mapped Zendesk accounts have a sign-in page URL that differs from the underlying Zendesk page related to the sign-in cookie. This mismatch can cause some browsers and privacy extensions to block cookies, resulting in a 'refused to connect' error. Ensuring your browser allows third-party cookies can help resolve this issue.
