Splunk Cloud Platform

Saml response does not contain group information (Okta)

I am using Okta to configure SAML for splunk.

Following the step of introduction, I created a SAML group in Splunk and same group name in Okta. Made a role mapping. 

https://saml-doc.okta.com/SAML_Docs/How-to-Configure-SAML-2.0-for-Splunk-Cloud.html

When finished the setup, the logon page is through Okta but it got below error message after filled in user email and password in Okta logon page.

Saml response does not contain group information.

Attached the output of saml-tracer addon. 

Did I miss something?

Hi @livehybrid , 

Thank you for your reply. I only created one group. I am using Splunk cloud trial version. Is there any limitation for setting up SSO?

Also another problem is once it shows that error page, I could not logon with local user anymore. It redirect to Okta when I access. Then I lost opportunity to logon Splunk Cloud.

Hi @Lien 

I assume your user has been assigned to a relevant group in Okta that is relevant to the Splunk application? 

I have seen an issue before with users who having 100+ groups where the SAML response doesnt send the groups, I wonder if that could be the case here - does your user have a high count of groups in Okta?

I dont know if you have seen this but it may be useful? https://splunk.my.site.com/customer/s/article/SAML-user-unable-to-login
