Hi Dojo,
after upgrading our DMS to 10.4.0 we’ve experienced that the embedding of DataMiner URLs in Microsoft Teams does not work as before. When using the Teams button to open the Website in the external browser, the loading works just fine as expected (so it’s no issue in the URL itself).
Before, URLs as following where easy to attach to a Teams channel, using the “Website” functionality:
– https://[dataminer.company.local]/app/[appID] (to directly open a certain app)
– https://[dataminer.company.local]/root (to open the root view presenting all configured apps)
The first one leads to a loop between the authentication page and the app page, resulting in a denial based on too many login attempts.
The second one leads to a presentation of our default landing page (we have established a default webpage redirect in C:\Skyline DataMiner\WebPages\Default.asp for operational reasons) instead of the expected root view.
SingleSignOn was working good before, now this is somehow not working 100% as well.
Any experience with this, or any ideas what can be done?
Thank you!
The reason for the loop is because the web version of teams blocks all cookies. The dataminer apps rely on cookies to preserve an authencated session. Because the new teams is based on web under the hood, this issue starts to occur from that version onwards. There’s not much we can/want to do from our side to work around this, as opening websites as tabs in teams will no longer be possible soon: they will open as new tabs instead, where cookies will not be blocked and authentication should again work as before.
Hi Nils,
We can reproduce this issue using the new Teams client (but are unable to replicate this with the old Teams). As it works locally, we’re still unsure how Teams modifies it or how it impacts the flow.
A task has been created for our development team to further investigate. We’ll keep you posted on the results.
Hi Seba,
aah, good point, this probably coincides with our switch to the new Teams client as well… I didn’t think about that.
Thanks for picking this up! 🙂
Hi Gilles,
alright, thanks a lot for this elaboration!
