Exception after Login via SSO

I activated SSO according to this article.

ucr set saml/idp/authsource=univention-negotiate

My UCS servers have the newest updates (4.4-4 errate 613).

But after I try to login via SSO, I immediately get an exception.

SimpleSAML_Error_Error: UNHANDLEDEXCEPTION

We replaced the ca-certificate on the Main domain controller with our own. The certificate on the domain ucs-sso.our-domain.net can be verified and our own CA is integrated correctly (at least according to Firefox).

But there are errors regarding our CA in syslog:

172.16.0.31 -> Main DC
172.16.32.31 -> Client I’ve used to test SSO

Any clues on how I could proceed?

I could solve this problem myself. For some reason the password for sys-idp-user was wrong. Overwriting it with the password in /etc/idp-ldap-user.secret got rid of the error message.
Logging in via SSO works most of the time now.

There are two problems I encountered after that:

  • Sometimes the Loginpage won’t get redirected automatically to the SSO-page. I have to login, logout and the next login usually redirects correctly. A link below the login field “Use SSO to login” would be helpful. Similar to the link “Login without SSO”.
  • After logging in via SSO it doesn’t redirect to my Main DC, instead I get the message

Access forbidden
You don’t have the needed privileges to access this application. Please contact the administrator if you find this to be incorrect.

I’m getting redirected correctly if I use my Backup DC or Member servers instead. I didn’t find anything in the documentation about allowing or disallowing access to the management console.

Hello!

Got the same problem with my system. Where did you overwrite the password stored in /etc/idp-ldap-user.secret?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Woger

You can find this user under Domain -> LDAP Directory -> users.
idp-ldap-user is a simple Authentication user. Edit this user and you can change its password. There may be an error message in case you enabled a password policy. In that case you may have to deactivate it, change the password and activate your password policy again.
