Environment

NFA 9.5.0

Cause

There is an auditing part of the code that is activated via config file, which should not be. 

Resolution

Edit the: installdir/portal/sso/webapps/sso/sign-in-process.jsp  

and find:

// Audit logging
WebApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext( request.getServletContext() );
AuditLogService auditLogService = (AuditLogService)context.getBean( "auditLogService" );
auditLogService.log( "Sign In", auditSubCategory, auditLogMsg ); 

Add // to the 3 lines like below:

// Audit logging
// WebApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getRequiredWebApplicationContext( request.getServletContext() );
// AuditLogService auditLogService = (AuditLogService)context.getBean( "auditLogService" );
// auditLogService.log( "Sign In", auditSubCategory, auditLogMsg );
