Hi, folks,

     I'm trying to figure out why I got this error on startup for the new server pair I'm building:

13:52:11.887 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] WARNo.a.g.e.AuthenticationProviderFacade - The "saml" authentication provider has encountered an internal error which will halt the authentication process. If this is unexpected or you are the developer of this authentication provider, you may wish to enable debug-level logging. If this is expected and you wish to ignore such failures in the future, please set "skip-if-unavailable: saml" within your guacamole.properties.


You'll need to look earlier in the logs to find what failed to cause SAML to fail to start. As noted by the warning, you may need to enable debug-level logging to get sufficient detail.

13:52:11.887 [http-nio-8080-exec-1] ERRORo.a.g.rest.RESTExceptionMapper - An internal error occurred, but did not contain an error message. Enable debug-level logging for details.

I did set skip-if-unavailable and got past it, but I don't quite get what it means. Is it just complaining that I haven't set SAML up yet?


You'll need to enable debug-level logging to get additional information if there isn't already enough information available further up in the logs.

The "skip-if-unavailable" property is a last-ditch option that you can make use of if you have auth-related systems that you *know* are unavoidably unstable. Setting that property instructs Guacamole to allow authentication to proceed with the providers that _are_ working, even if there is a provider that is failing to start (here, SAML).

If you are not expecting this failure, you should not set this property.
