Sonarqube SAML gave error: You're not authorized to access this page. Please contact the administrator

I am currently use sonaqube Version 6.7.6 (build 38781 and having a problem configuring the SAML.
I did follow the SAML plugin doc here, https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/SAML+Authentication+Plugin
However I got an error when login:
You’re not authorized to access this page. Please contact the administrator.

I think it is related to the Assertion Point as per the above doc is:
"https://sonarqube.mycompany.com/oauth2/callback/saml"

Appreciate any help on this issue.

Thanks,
Allan

Hi @amargono,

In order to investigate what is happening, could you please :

  • Activate the DEBUG log level
  • Try to authenticate again
  • Check logs generated in web.log

Hey Allan,

What SAML provider are you using, and… shot in the dark here, are you trying to initiate the login from the Identity/SAML provider or from the SonarQube login screen?

I ask because your URL has “idp” in it, which means it’s the URL meant to be used when initating a login from the Identity Provider (rather than “sp”, or when it’s initiated from the Service Provider, in this case SonarQube).

Colin

Hi Collin,
I used the Service Provider from SAP which is my parent company, even I used different domain for my Sonarqube installation.

Thanks,
Allan

I came across the following link, SAML IDP Initiated Login.
And I did set the login URL like https://sonar.example.com/sessions/init/saml?return_to=%2F.
However I got an error:
The page you were looking for does not exist.

Can anyone help us?

I am dealing with the same error when I use Auth0 for authentication with SAML

:frowning:

Hello Team,
SonarQube with IIS as proxy server integrated with saml for authentication. but still getting issue as
"You’re not authorized to access this page. Please contact the administrator.

Reason: The response was received at http://local url/oauth2/callback/saml instead of AFD domina url/oauth2/callback/saml"
also followed the SAML post still the issue persists.
Any help would be highly appreciable, struggling with this issue for last 2 days which is prod instance.

Regards
Senthil
