Environment

  • SAP SuccessFactors JAM Collaboration

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into Work Zone as usual
  2. Observe, that after successful login, IAS login screen is visible

Cause

  • The trusted iDP in the Work Zone tenant does not have the right BTP certificate.
  • Hence the OAuth2SAMLBearerAsserion was failing with "SAML assertion failed validation" error, due to certificate mismatch.

Resolution

Update the certificate in the Work Zone SAML Trusted IdP by reuploading the BTP metadata file downloaded from Destinations -> Download IDP Metadata

Steps to resolve:

1. Got to the BTP Subaccount -> Destination -> click Download IDP Metadata to get the metadata XML file.
