When logging into Splunk via saml we receive "IDP failed to authenticate request. Status Code=""

Hi everyone,

When logging into Splunk via saml we receive this code

"IDP failed to authenticate request. Status Code="" Check splunkd.log for more information about the failure."

However, when checking splunkd.log there do not appear to be any entries regarding the authentication failure.

Please advise,

Regards,
Harrison

This is the error that appears when there is a problem authorizing access to Splunk. When you get this error, it means that you have been properly authenticated as you (your credentials were entered correctly), but you are not authorized to access Splunk. This problem is above your pay grade and you need to talk to you SSO admin to get it fixed.
