When I try to log in to our INCEpTION instance with SAML authentication, "Login with SSO service failed" is displayed.

The following entries are in the application.log file:

WARN [SYSTEM] AbstractSubjectConfirmationValidator - Valid InResponseTo was not available from the validation context, unable to evaluate SubjectConfirmationData@InResponseTo              
DEBUG [SYSTEM] BaseOpenSamlAuthenticationProvider - Found 2 validation errors in SAML response [_6472e7f5-92f6-46b9-a3e5-0123456789ab]                                                      
DEBUG [SYSTEM] ProviderManager - Authentication failed with provider OpenSaml4AuthenticationProvider since The response contained an InResponseTo attribute [ARQ7479991-1e69-4c4b-aa4e-cdef01234567] but no saved authentication request was found

This seems to be the same as the following issue:


SAML authentication is working for us in INCEpTION 33, but not in later versions.

Hi Aram,

thanks for raising the issue.

I'll have to check where I can set up an INCEpTION instance that is publicly reachable
because sending you SAML data from my workstation won't work.

That might take a while - quite possibly until the winter break.

Are you available during the holidays?

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

Sorry for the delayed response.  I expect to be available during the holidays.  When you are ready, you can send us the SAML metadata.  We will then send the test account information to you.

Thanks very much for your help in resolving this issue.

Aram

Hi Richard,

FYI, our Azure AD admin will be out from 12/24 through 12/28 and from 12/31 though 1/4.
