Dear Team,

When I am trying to login to our Dev environment through SSO , then I am getting below error, as shown in below screenshot.

Also I am getting below error message in the below error.log file.

Please Suggest.

Was this a new configuration, or has it worked before? If you click on one of the osgi configs and view the options, is there something not specified that should be?

Seeing your error log I can say that AEM is trying to connect anonymously which is not allowed for author instance. Here is one article which discusses about sling authentication both authenticated and anonymous login.

Which version of the AEM instance you are trying to do this one.?

Can you provide the screenshot of your SAML configurations that you have done.?

Also can you try removing the sling referrer filter "POST" and save the configurations. and the user which you are authenticated via the IDP are available in AEM, If so does those users have required permissions.?

Dear All,

This SAML was working fine before. But now Its not working. We need the Root Cause for this.

We are using AEM 6.1

Yes , I tried removing the sling referrer filter "POST" and save the configurations but it did not work out.

Also the user which I am trying to authenticate via the IDP are available in AEM, and yes those users have already required permissions.

Please find the below screenshot for our SAML configuration.

Hi,

when you say it was working before what do you mean, it recently stopped working or it was working in a previous version of AEM. 

You don't use /etc/key anymore, please follow [0].

The screenshot you have shared for the SAML configuration doesn't appear to be correct,

  • you have not configured the IDP Certificate Alias, 
  • Your "Service Provider Entity ID" should typically be your AEM server with "saml_login" at the end

The above means you did not follow [0]. The docs for setting up same in 6.1 are incorrect, so if you were not aware of [0], it won't work...

Regards,

Opkar
