Hi Dojo,
We’ve set up SAML authentication, but some users encounter the following error: "Surname not found in DataMiner.xml".
I’ve checked the DataMiner.xml file, and the configuration looks correct. The <surname> tag is present under external authentication.
Cube logging:
Exception : (Code: 0x80040323) Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Exceptions.DataMinerSecurityException: Surname not found in DataMiner.xml
Message : Login Failed.
Exception : (Code: 0x80070005) Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Exceptions.DataMinerSecurityException: Unable to authenticate as xxxxx ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Has anyone seen this before? Could the issue be caused by the user not having a last name set in Azure?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Catarina,
The error message is a bit misleading here, you will also get this error if the SAMLResponse does not contain a field with the surname of that user. When AutomaticUserCreation is enabled, DataMiner expects each user to have a non-empty givenname, surname and email.
