SSO not working properly

SA-82910

Summary



In the Service Provider (SP) Metadata the  certificate information is not stored. Therefore, the SAML Authentication does not work.


Error Messages



(Admin_Security_SSO_SAML.Action) ERROR |Rest|WebSSO|SAML|sp
metadata|AZ4BTGJZI5IVTUQMS8MER7TXQ336SBU7R  - Failed to get certificate
com.pega.pegarules.pub.PRRuntimeException: Unable to open keystore instance.

com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.AuthorizationException: You are not authorized to delete instance DATA-ADMIN-SECURITY-KEYSTORE-KID EOCADFSKEYSTORE!XYZ 
at com.pega.pegarules.pub.database.AuthorizationException.createCannotDeleteException(AuthorizationException.java:280) ~[prpublic.jar:?] 
at com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.access.Deleter.delete(Deleter.java:694) ~[prprivate.jar:?]



Steps to Reproduce



In Designer Studio, open the Authentication Service and download the SP Metadata. In the metadata XML, the complete <KeyDescriptor> section is missing.


Root Cause



Unable to open the keyStore record since it referenced old entries in the pc_data_adm_seckeyid table.


Resolution



Perform the following local-change: 
  1. Delete the old Keystore ID (KID) entries from the <dataschema>.pc_data_adm_seckeyid table.
  2. Delete the keyStore record from the Pega instance.
  3. Reimport the metadata. The keyStore record is recreated.
  4. Validate the keyStore record instance from the database.
  5. Remove the Verification Certificate from the Rule form.
  6. Re-add the certificate to the Rule form.
