  • WorldShare Management Services

Resolution

This is a generic error message that some part of the SAML / Shibboleth authentication is not working.

If the authentication has worked before:

Contact your Identity Provider (IdP) Support team and ask if anything changed on their side of the process.

For example:

  • New SAML signing certificate or Metadata
  • idAtSource, or custom NameID field that has been selected during the implementation is no longer released from the IdP to WMS
