We are using Sitecore version 9.3 for our solution.
For our CD instance (the public facing website), we need to use **Azure ADB2C** with `OpenIdConnect` for authentication. And for our Sitecore CM instance, we have to use Sitecore Identity only.
Below is all the code that we have added to make this work. The authentication with the public website works fine but when we try to login to our Sitecore CM instance, we are getting an error below:
Unsuccessful login with external provider.
Please help us in rectifying this issue.

**Update 1**
Upon further analysis, I found out that the issue is with this statement -
app.SetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
This is getting called inside -
CookieAuthentication.ConfigureCookieAuthentication(args.App);
When I comment it out, I am able to login to sitecore but login to the public facing site breaks.
**Update 2**
After commenting the code as mentioned in Update 1, I can't see ".Aspnet .Cookies" getting created. I only see ".Aspnet .ExternalCookies". How to get ".Aspnet .Cookies" ?
