Horizon View Administrator SAML 2.0 Authenticator Issue

Hello,

I tried to create a new SAML 2.0 Authenticator via View Administrator on fresh new installation and when I try to add authenticator with static metadata I get the following error:

"Failed to add SAML 2.0 Authenticator:

  StaticMetadata with this entityID already in use"

And the metadata is not used anywhere in the horizon. Hopefully some of you will know the solution.

Thanks in advance

vMware Horizon View Administrator 7.0.2 build-4350299

Good morning Bond989

Did you ever solve this question? I am seeing the same thing currently at my client.

Thanks

Just to respond. This is still happening.

Tried in our environment:

Horizon 7.9

UAG 3.9.1

Horizon 7.12

UAG 3.9.1

I already created a ticket. When we solve the issue I will update this ticket for future reference.

Where can I find answers for this post. I tried searching a lot, I see this post was moved by Scott28tt to To Horizon View. We are having same problem at the moment and VMware support doesn’t have any answer apart from rebooting the server. It’s been 3 days now I haven’t come to a solution. Could you please Help me.. Just saw you know there are no entries in ADAM ADSI under Authenticator. Any script command or utility that VMWARE has to Clear Cached SAML on Connection Server? This is extremely burning topic for us now.

Thanks,

Sandeep

I have seen this and from what I have seen is that you cannot have more than one SAML authenticator from the same IDP. 

Look at the XML file for the one you currently have and the one you want to add. Search for entityID. If they are the same then that is the reason why.

I believe that this KB covers what Jason has said 

Configure a SAML Authenticator in Horizon Console (vmware.com)

"You can configure more than one SAML authenticator to a Connection Server and all the authenticators can be active simultaneously. However, the entity-ID of each of these SAML authenticators configured on the Connection Server must be different."
