Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• NSX manager is using vIDM for authentication
• When a session to NSX manager is expired the browser is redirected to vIDM page. Here, if the user tries to re-login to NSX manager UI, the following error is shown:
  
  • {"module_name":"common-service","error_message":"Unauthorized","error_code":98}
• The URL looks like this:
  • https://<nsx-manager-fqdn>/vidm-oauth2-login?code=session_code
• In the same browser window if all suffixes are removed from the URL, reducing it to "https://<nsx-manager-fqdn>" login attempts are successful
  
  

 

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

This issue is happening because, during failed login attempt, NSX is not referring the client to the vIDM login page.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in NSX 4.2.
