SAML based SSO in context of NWBC 4.0 Desktop

[former_member211162]

I setup NWBC to SSO via SAML2 (OKTA as - Identity provider) with the help of my infrastructure team.

The web html version of NWBC via IE works absolutely fine including HTTP & HTTPS (with suggestions from Samuli kaski on this forum)

However, the NWBC 4.0 PL12 desktop version, is having issues. When I try the SAP system's SICF service URL, https://<ABAP AS>:44301/nwbc in the connection settings, the NWBC screen goes through the SAML/IDP authentication succesfully and then just hangs with a blank screen. Confirmed via fiddler

Set the trace level to VERBOSE and couldnt find anything that made sense to me in the trace files. I also setup the parameter AllowTemporaryConnections to True in the NwbcOptions.xml.template file on my client side.

I checked the note # 1378659 - NWBC known issues & what to check when opening a ticket

The NWBC 4.0 PL12 is the latest version, backened SAP_BASIS version is at NW 7.31 SP09 & Windows version is Windows 7

Any suggestions on this issue? Thanks in advnace.

Thanks

Thanks Samuli, the note you suggested, solved the problem. Appreciate your help.

Do you have any suggestions for the NWBC SSO via the portal redirect app as discussed -

I have the same symptom, once I click on the connection in NWBC, it goes to the portal signs me in and just hangs at a blank page. However, if I cancel out of that and click on the connection again, it works.

Also do a Fiddler trace and see what is logged in defaultTrace.
