Getting login request (again) in checkout

[scottw-finao]

Magento 2.2.4
v1.0.2 of plugin

I'm using the blacklist mode and added the all the customer pages, catalog forms, cart and checkout to the require-login list. Our products require a third party tool to configure them so the customer has to be logged in to tie an id to the product for the information exchanged with the design tool.
When you add the product to cart, the cart pulls up fine but when you click 'go to checkout', despite being already logged in, sometimes it still pops up a log-in dialogue. (still trying to isolate when/why it does and when/why it doesn't)
If you sign in, it then brings you back to the Customer Dashboard. If you click the cart again the cart comes up fine, but if you click 'Go to Checkout' from the cart (or enter the checkout url manually) it again pops up the login dialogue which again brings you back to the Dashboard. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Hello?

@scottw-finao Sorry for the late reply. Let me try to reproduce this issue in fresh Magento installation. Also please provide live URL to check this issue.

the plugin is current on a white-list staging server. Shoot me an email direct with an IP and I can expose it to that address. (just move the '@' to the '-' in my nick and add .com)

I'm having trouble re-producing it at the moment. We had two separate people testing that ran into the problem, but this was shortly after installing with redis caching enabled. Would redis interfere with the session handling in any way?

@scottw-finao I have just deleted this module from Magento Marketplace due to many caching issues. And move this module to in development.

any estimate on a timeline?
