Public bug reported:

After switching to a different cloud, Django's old "sessionid" cookie causes Horizon to greet you with the 500 Internal Server Error page. Clearing browser cookies or deleting just the "sessionid" cookie (e.g. in Chrome Dev Tools > Resources > Cookies) and refreshing is a workaround to bring the user back to a working login screen. Could this happen because request.user.is_authenticated() does not check for a valid session before proceeding?
