Environment

SiteMinder 12.8.x

Access Gateway 12.8.x

 

Cause

Google Root CA certificate not properly added to Symantec Access Gateway.

Access Gateway does not validate "code" in google apiserver.

1) To get access token using Authorization code using  API https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/reference/errors/authorization#3-access-token

curl -L -X POST 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token?client_id=83876948441-iaufrd2cpqpde6hr78k6rph9qh5ddjo3.apps.googleusercontent.com&client_secret=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&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsso01.example.com%2Faffwebservices%2Fpublic%2Foauthtokenconsumer%2Fgoogle83876948441iaufrd2cpqpde6hr78k6rph9qh5ddjo3appsgoogleusercontentcom' \
--data grant_type=authorization_code \
--data 'code=4/0AX4XfWi84GXbTH0RKe4FJauClmg7fcyyr2uATWW4GKjLO0ubGqc66spFiSvhOAIuf-Zbfw' \
--verbose --silent

In Access Gateway, it is working fine. There is no issue in authorization code itself.

2) Capture network traffic in Access Gateway (Linux environment) -- reproduce the error in browser.

• tcpdump -nn -s 0 -i any -w /tmp/https.pcap port 443
• tshark -r /tmp/https.pcap | less 

     There is a certificate error in TCP packet, which means that Access Gateway is not connecting to the Google API server.

Resolution

1) Go to https://www.googleapis.com/ and get the root certificate.

2) Import certificate into Access Gateway and restart Access Gateway.

3) Validate Google Social Media integration.
