Error creating SSO with Azure

[erico]

I'm trying to create an Identity Provider that authenticates to Azure.  I've gotten most of the way there, but I'm stuck with the attached error screen and message.

Ensure that the user you are trying the test connection with is present in the system.
Ensure that 'User Field' property value corresponds to the value set in the IDP returned through 'Subject NameID' in the response.

From reading some other posts, I've been able to surmise that my SAML query isn't matching the expected authentication field for some reason.  So if I'm looking for user_name from ServiceNow, I'm not getting user_name out of Azure or vice versa.

I've created the user in Azure and I've created the user in ServiceNow.  So the user exists in both systems.

I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do from here.  I've attached my SSO configuration screen as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Joel,

I couldn't figure out why mine wasn't working, turns out the SAML:1.1 is still important where i expected it to be 2.0 across the board.

Thankfully this post still helped 5 years later!

I was facing the same issue while performing 'Test Connection'. This solution resolved my issue.

Thank you.

Joel - 

Thanks for the solution!  Can you explain to me "why" that change works?

Erico,

Those are the values that AzureAD and ServiceNow are passing to SAML to identify the user in each system, so they have to match.

Hope this helps and I'm glad that it worked!
