I am looking for pointers on Azure SSO integration with IdentityIQ.
We have followed IdentityIQ SAML documentation and configured SAML based SSO in IdentityIQ.
The integrations works fine if IIQ finds a matching identity.
If IIQ doesn’t find any matching identity we are getting the IIQ login page and “Unable to correlate SAML Assertion to Identity via SAMLCorrelationRule” exception logged in logs.
This is pretty much the OOB/standard authentication flow. The reason it pops to the login page is to allow alternative authentication methods (like pass-through auth to AD/LDAP and IIQ internal authentication). The reasoning behind this is so that admins (and possibly users) can have a means to access the system if for some reason SSO went offline.
Considering the end user’s perspective and their experience, I would personally prefer encountering the login page rather than an error page. Brian aptly highlighted the rationale behind this decision.
