    Problem:

     

    When doing Federation IDP initiated transaction, after the successfull authentication, we are getting redirected to the /redirect/redirect.jsp and looping.

    In the FWSTrace.log we can see:

     

    [SSO.java][processRequest][Current session state is: false]
    [SSO.java][processRequest][Current session is not a valid session.]
    [SSO.java][processRequest][Session cookie does not exists. redirecting to authentication url [CHECKPOINT = SSOSAML2_AUTHENTICATIONURL_REDIRECT]]

    Solution:

     

    Checking the ACO for Disablesessionvars=no fixed the problem.

    Indeed, the Webagent should set the default session variables in order to propagate them to the Webagent Option pack.
