Comment:

 Hi yurivict271. Iirc the 1.4.5 release had an issue where cookie
 authentication wouldn't work with a ControlSocket. This setup is pointless
 (cookie auth doesn't provide you anything a ControlSocket doesn't) but
 that aside this is already fixed in the git codebase.

 I'd suggest dropping CookieAuthentication or switching to a ControlPort
 for now.

 Cheers! -Damian
