Troubleshooting
Starting with version 2.0.0 we have implemented Authentication trackers and the Support information functionality.
Authentication Tracker
Authentication trackers are used internally to keep track of your users' authentication sessions. They are ephemeral, i.e. they will be deleted after a short period of time. If something is not working properly, users will be given a tracker ID in the error message, which you can use here to look at their session information.
Generate authentication tracker
To generate an authentication tracker: Open the SAML Single Sign On configuration page → Navigate to System and Support → Authentication Tracker → Click on generate new tracker → Copy the provided link and give this link to the person trying to log in. The last created authentication tracker ID will automatically be copied to the Enter the Tracker ID field.
Different ways to track the authentication process

Collect Support information
For faster and better troubleshooting an issue, our support might ask you for Support informations. It contains the current plugin configurations and all self included authentication tracker informations. They will be collected for you, so you can simply attach it to a support case, either by including it in an email or via our customer portal.
