Security

Why are no arguments found after configuring SSO?

I configured SSO for my Splunk with IDP.
I added the user in both Splunk and IDP, but when the user authenticated by our IDP and redirected back to Splunk, it shows that No arguments found. I don't know what's wrong with it.

I can find that the user was sent to IDP and the response sent back.

I am using Gsuite as my IDP. No I do not see any errors on Splunkd logs. 

I see `No arguments found.` error on Splunk UI when I try Gsuite initiated login.

I have attribute mappings as `Email`, `Name` and `role` for Splunk.

Hi, was there a solution for this? I am getting the same error and IDP initiated SAML call.
