It provides a seamless way to authenticate and authorize users, ensuring that only the right individuals have access to sensitive data and systems. Valkey is widely used for its efficiency in handling complex access control scenarios and maintaining security compliance.

Identifying the Symptom

One common issue users may encounter when using Valkey is an error message indicating an 'Invalid Session State.' This typically occurs when attempting to perform operations that require a valid session, such as accessing restricted resources or executing specific commands.

Common Error Message

The error message usually appears as follows:

VAL-035: Invalid Session State

This message suggests that the current session has become invalid or inconsistent, preventing further operations.

Exploring the Issue

The error code VAL-035 is associated with an invalid session state in Valkey. This issue arises when the session state does not match the expected parameters, often due to network interruptions, session timeouts, or improper session handling.

Root Causes

  • Network interruptions causing session data loss.
  • Session timeouts leading to expired sessions.
  • Incorrect session initialization or handling.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the 'Invalid Session State' issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Reinitialize the Session

Begin by reinitializing the session to ensure that it starts with a clean state. Use the following command to reinitialize:

valkey session init

This command will reset the session, clearing any inconsistencies.

Step 2: Verify State Consistency

Ensure that the session state is consistent by checking the session parameters. Use the following command to verify:

valkey session status

Review the output to confirm that the session is active and consistent.

Step 3: Monitor Network Stability

Check your network connection to prevent interruptions that may affect session stability. Ensure a stable and reliable network connection.
