Troubleshooting: Windows SSO Realm Bypasses Its Group Restriction

Version Affected: All
 
 

Overview

A group restriction has been added to the Data tab of a Windows SSO realm, but all users can still log in regardless of group membership.

Cause

The realm has a Transparent SSO misconfiguration under the Custom Identity Consumer section: the Pre-Auth Cookie and Post-Auth Cookie are set to the same name.

Resolution:

To resolve this:

1. Open the Admin Console.
2. Navigate to the Workflow tab of the realm in question.
3. Scroll to the Custom Identity Consumer section and disable Transparent SSO.
4. Click Token Settings.
5. Make sure the Pre-Auth Cookie and Post-Auth Cookie fields have different names.
