Android and SAML Authentication Problems

gstrouth — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 16:04:44 GMT

We've been having some issues with Android phones (maybe Samsung specific) and the Horizon client lately and it not redirecting to our SAML login page, just popping a SAML2 error instead of redirecting to the browser to actually do the SAML login. If they open a browser and login to the HTML site and then go back to the client it works because the login is still valid. Any ideas?

Same here. Saml2 error. Samsung Phone and tablet. Send log but no answer. No matter what browser I use (samsung, chrome or edge).. Only old browser versions seems to work.

There seems to be a new version on the site. It resolves the problem. Not yet Available through playstore.

I don't see anything in the release notes referencing this issue. So you've tried the 2206 client and it is working for you now?

Yes, for me it is working now.

Yes seems to be fixed in the Horizon Client 2206 build 8.6 that came out last week and has been updated in the Google store.

Could already test this yesterday and worked flawlessly. Android 12 with Firefox as the default browser.

I agree. Saml2 bug. Samsung tablet and phone. Message sent, but no response. Regardless of the browser I'm using—Samsung, Chrome, or Edge. Only outdated browser versions appear to function.
