Deployment model:

  • On Premises
  • Version Affected:   21.04 and below

    Description:  
    OIDC Realms configured to login via WindowsSSO (this can also apply to other Being Site options) can fail with 'Invalid_Scope' and 'Unknown scope' even though the correct scopes are available

    Cause:  
    This is caused by the URL parameters being encoded twice, once when the request hits SecureAuth.aspx and again when the call is passed to WindowsSSO.aspx (or the selected Begin Site)

    This can be confirmed by looking through the Debug log during the authentication attempt, at which point, similar to the below can be seen where the requested Scopes are seen as a single Scope

    Message="[ScopeValidator].[ValidateScopesWithRealm]: Scope 'profile+email+openid' is not defined in realm configuration."
    ...
    Message="[AuthorizeEndpointHandler].[ValidateParameters]: Unknown scope."


    Resolution:
     
    This issue has been fixed in the below HF levels, and newer HF levels:
    9.3 HF25
    19.07.01 HF32
    20.06 HF9
    21.04 HF1
