2860208 - Failed to load story based on Live HANA connection with SAML SSO authentication into Web Page in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

Failed to load story based on Live HANA connection with SAML SSO authentication into Web Page in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC):

  • Error detail: “Could not download the file, please deactivate your pop-up blocker.”

Environment

  • SAP Analytics Cloud 2019.15.15

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log on to SAC tenant with custom IdP enabled.
  2. Create a story based on Live HANA connection with SAML SSO authentication and save it.
    => It can be re-opened successfully with pop-up for SAML SSO authentication.
    => It means that browser has been configured to: "Allow pop-up windows from the SAP Analytics Cloud domain: [*.]sapanalytics.cloud.".
  3. Create another story and insert one Web Page.
  4. Set Web Page Address to the URL of the story above.
    => Example: https://<TENANT>/sap/fpa/ui/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/bo/story/<STORY_ID>?mode=embed
    => Failed to load the story with error "Could not download the file, please deactivate your pop-up blocker.".
    => It is working fine to load story based on Live HANA connection with password authentication into Web Page.

Cause

  • This is not supported yet by the current SAC version.
  • The iframe widget (Web Page) allows untrusted page to be embed into a story. Adding the allow-popups attribute will make the iframe vulnerable to tabnabbing. 

Resolution

  • You can create an enhancement idea for SAP Analytics Cloud product that you would like to share with product management and/or other customers according to SAP KBA 2424376.
