Oracle Access Manager 11g (OAM 11.1.2.3.x) Federation - Login Loops When the Identity Provider (IDP) AuthN Scheme has an AuthN Level of 3 or Higher

Issue ...

Set the authentication level of the IDP authN scheme that is protecting the webgate resource to anything higher than 2 (for example level 3 or 4)
After successful authentication at the IDP, on the OAM side will see a looping behavior happening between OAM server and webgate

Working flow ...

Configure an IDP authentication scheme in OAM with an authentication level of 2.
If you access the webgate resource, it gets redirected to the IDP
After authN at IDP, it comes to OAM (SP) and OAM server creates session and redirects to webgate resource
Able to access it successfully without any issues as expected.

Installation of OAM bundle patch 11.1.2.3.190209
