  1. Problem with invalid SameSite configuration

The problem is that the SameSite cookie attribute is not set, while the correct configuration would be SameSite=None. In certain situations, some browsers will discard such cookie when switching between different domains, as is the case in SSO authentication. We believe that this causes problems for some of users when they are trying to connect to UNIC SP.

2. Make sure that your IdP delivers the following mandatory eduGain attributes to the UNIC SP:

  • schacHomeOrganization
  • eduPersonScopedAffiliation
  • schacPersonalUniqueCode

 In order to access UNIC page some attributes must be delivered. If a person can't access UNIC page due to message shown in Figure 2.,  it is necessary to contact the administrator of the Identity provider at home institution to check whether the specified attributes are delivered.
