When we are using Open ID authentication, after setting up with the configuration we try to connect to Spotfire server URL and then redirected to Open ID provider page for providing Username and Password.Authentication fails and error message is displayed on the UI i.e "Could not login. Verify the server details or contact your administrator." message and "Go to login page" button.

Below is the error seen in server.log

DEBUG 2018-07-18T04:03:46,022+0530 [unknown, #2, #18239] server.security.SecurityFilter: User authentication failed

 

When we try to connect using Open ID authentication as a provider, it fails with the below error in server.log. Invalid state parameter - please check the redirect URI (the user may have been redirected back to a different host and/or port - resulting in a new HTTP session)

For the above error message in some cases we need to check for the Discovery document URL, if it is mentioned as "https://dev-338127.oktapreview.com/.well-known/openid-configuration" and not "http://dev-338127.oktapreview.com/.well-known/openid-configuration".In short we need to check if the URL is mentioned as https instead of http. Also, in some cases we need to check for default filter mode of Post Authentication filter is not "Block", it should be "Auto-create".
