Does anyone have a strange problem when using shibboleth authentication?

Login with user/password does not have any problem.

Login with Shibboleth has this strange behaviour
1) does not show admin side bar.  ds-admin-sidebar
     The component exists but it has no content.
2) does not show "my account" div, profile etc. ds-themed-user-menu until you press F5 once or twice

Had anyone these problems?

Thanks in advance

Evelio

did you have a look on the browser console ?
I have a similar problem with OIDC on DSpace 8.0.
I have some policies for users only to show items when logged in…and the
Facets (Discover) are empty after redirect from authentication, it needs
a reload.
The error in the browser console is a longish JSON starting with
Error:
{"actuator":{"href":"<SERVERNAME>/server/actuator"},"authn":{"href":"<SERVERNAME>/server/api/authn"},"authorizations":{…

…doesn't contain the link profiles

After a reload it works, same like yours. There are not many community /
collections or metadata, but 8071 Items with > 88000 policies.

And Logout doesn't work, too - if you log out and go on "Login" you are
logged in again w/o authentication (I think this is a known problem).
