Unable to complete SAML single sign on request

Possible error messages (in the file logging details):

• Key Not Found error
  • Pleasant.Identity.Authentication.Saml.Mvc.SamlAuthenticationController
    System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
  • Resolution:
    • This indicates that the "Name" field (in SAML Partner Configuration) is incorrect
      
      • Name = Issue URL / Identity Provider Issuer (from your Identity Provider)
    • This can also be found by opening the XML meta file
    • Edit the SAML Partner Configuration
    • Enter this value into "Name" field

• Keyset does not exist
  • This may indicate that the IIS account (used in the Application Pool) does not have read permissions to the imported certificate

• Error occurred during a cryptographic operation.

  • This indicates that there is a problem with the decrypting, perhaps because of an invalid machine code or encryption key.

  • Ensure that the connection string and the encryption key is correct in the Service Config utility

  • If you have multiple servers (IIS / IISExpress), there could be a problem with the client hitting two different servers that have different machine codes or different encryption keys. Ensure that there is a machine key that is generated and copied to each of the other IIS / IISExpress machine(s).

  • This is documented in the Cloud Hosting with IIS (step 2):
