Kolibri login page continuously reloads without user interaction.

Completely new fresh install on both Nuc (Ubuntu 18.0.4) and RPi (2019-04-08-raspbian-stretch-lite),

iiab: Full System (3).

On both environments, opening Kolibri from the main menu (/kolibri) results in this indefinite page reload.

I managed to stall the refresh and enter credentials (guessed Admin/changeme) and clicked Login. I then momentarily saw a black bar message saying "You were automatically logged out due to inactivity".

Console log shows some errors:

http://192.168.0.34/kolibri/api/auth/facilityusername/?facility&search=Admin&1560796325304=1560796325304

Thank you @tstauch !

1. Can you run confirm you're running Kolibri 0.12.3 by running the following?

/usr/local/kolibri/bin/kolibri --version

2. Can you read thru known issue http://box/kolibri causes browser to infinitely loop, preventing login (works initially...server reboot does not help...happens with all client OS's & all server OS's) #1532 to see if we can finally crack this in cooperation with Kolibri's upstream staff @rtibbles @jredrejo and @benjaoming ?

The 403 looks indicative of a CSRF issue still, with the CSRF token from the cookie still being set to something from a different service.
