Troubleshooting

Note: Pivotal Platform is now part of VMware Tanzu. In v1.12 and later, Pivotal Single Sign‑On is named Single Sign‑On for VMware Tanzu.

This topic describes how to resolve common errors that arise when configuring a single sign-on partnership between Azure Active Directory (AD) and Single Sign‑On for VMware Tanzu.

Failed Login

Symptom:

You cannot log in to your Single Sign‑On plan.

Solutions:

  • VMware recommends using a different browser or deleting your browser cache and history before you log in to your Single Sign‑On plan. Your Single Sign‑On plan can fail if you are already logged in to Azure AD as the Global Administrator account that was used to set up all the configurations.

  • If your login fails more than five times, Azure locks your account for 30 minutes. There is currently no way to unlock an account in Azure AD, so wait for the lockout period.

  • VMware recommends testing your Single Sign‑On plan from Azure AD to see the contents of the SAML assertion. For more information, see Test Your Configurations in Azure AD.
