SAP BI 4.2 SP5 SAML SSO Enabled and intermittent 404 missing page error

[former_member604818]

Hi,

We have configured SAML SSO with Azure AD for SAP BI 4.2 SP5 and we intermittently receive 404 missing page error. The spring_saml_metadata has been downloaded after enabling SSL (entityids have https url). Attached is the screen shot of error message. Please could someone point me in fixing the issue.

Regards,

Avinash

Hi,

Below is a nice step-by-step blog on "Configuring SAML SSO between Azure and SAP BO"

https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/01/saml-integration-between-microsoft-azure-portal-and-sap-business-in...

404 missing page appears for multiple reasons, one of them could be because of policy files.

Follow below steps.

Import Java policy files

Download

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html

Extract zip archive and find there local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar

Replace the existing files found in the “..\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\sapjvm\jre\lib\security” directory with the updated downloaded ones and restart SIA and Tomcat.

Hope it helps.

Thanks
Ashraf
