Issue/Introduction

OpenId Connect authentication fails with "Error calling the Token Endpoint: invalid_client"

Resolution

To resolve, add the correct "redirect url" or "return endpoint url" for your TIBCO Spotfire Server in the Identity Provider configuration (the "identity provider" is the 3rd party authentication provider like Google, Azure, Yahoo etc).

The correct redirect URL would be like http://<spotfireservername>/spotfire/auth/oidc/authenticate and is found in TIBCO Spotfire Configuration tool here:
  • TIBCO Spotfire Server Configuration Tool > Configuration tab > OpenID Connect > Return endpoint
