UIM SAML SSO doesn't fetch credentials from the Browser

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

We have configured DX UIM SAML single-sign-on with AzureID.

SSO works, however, every time we click SSO button, we must enter the credentials, and it doesn't take it from the logged in user in the browser. Is this expected? 

Environment

DX UIM 23.4.*

 

 

Cause

This is working as designed. When you click the DX UIM SSO button the OC will read the browser details and look for a SAML token. If the token is valid, it will authenticate the user and take it to the OC Home page directly. Howver, if there is no SAML token or if it's expired already, it takes you to the IDP page for authentication which in turn it will send back the SAML Token back to the Browser.

Note: in federationmeradata.idp.xml in /nimsoft/probes/service/wasp/conf/samlsso custom URL redirects (between SSO and IDP and Back to OC) can be configured.

 

Resolution

Currently the DX UIM SAML SSO does not support fetching the credentials directly from the browser.
