Applies to:

Symptoms

 

Applying any OBIEE BUNDLE PATCH to a WORKING OBIEE SSO Setup with SAML2.



The issue happens every time an OBIEE Bundle Patch is applied to a working OBIEE environment where SAML2 SSO has been configured with OBIEE.  

 

The login page goes into an infinite loop when customers use the URL as "/analytics/*" and it throws the following error if  set it up as "/analytics/""

 

#### <> <> <getServi
ceTypeFromURI(): request URI is '/analytics/default.jsp'>
#### <> <> <getServi
ceTypeFromURI(): request URI is not a service URI>
#### <> <> <getServi
ceTypeFromURI(): returning service type 'SPinitiator'>
#### <> <> ating authn request: processing>
#### <> <> get the partner name for the redirect URI [/analytics/default.jsp].>

 or you see the following error:-

Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.....
