Symptoms

After configuring Federated Identity using SAML (reference "Enabling Federated Identity Single Sign-On (SSO) Through SAML 2.0 For Primavera Products Hosted In Oracle Cloud (Doc ID 2087067.1)"), the following error occurs after authenticating to the Identity Provider (IdP):

Invalid Username or Password

When this issue occurs, the following error is logged to the SP Oracle Access Manager log files:

TIMESTAMP <Warning> <oracle.security.fed.eventhandler.fed.profiles.sp.sso.assertion.Saml20AssertionProcessor> <FED-15108>
<User was not found during attribute based authentication using NameID mapping for name identifier: $NAMEID_SENT_FROM_IDP name identifier format : urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified and message : $SAML RESPONSE>

The issue can be reproduced at will using the following steps:

Open a browser and connect to a Cloud P6 URL configured for Federated Identity.

Note the redirection which occurs to the IdP.

Note the redirection which occurs back to the Service Provider - Instead of redirection to the application, an Oracle Access Manager page displays with the noted error above.
