Error description

  • Enhancement Request Overrride Session Authentication to work
    with SAML
    Customer is requesting an enhancement request  for Overrride
    Session Authentication to work
    with SAML
    Override Session Authentication rules are not honored.
    
    
    When SAML is enabled for an Internet Site, "Override Session
    Authentication" rules are not honored.
    
    For example, in case we have created a rule for all URLs
    matching
    */api/* to force basic authentication for DAS access on the
    SAML enabled site, Domino will always force SAML authentication
    while disregarding this rule.
    
    A workaround is to create a second site dedicated to the basic
    authentication, which is however not always the desired case.
    
    Tested on:
    
    IBM Domino (r) Server (64 Bit) (Release 9.0.1FP8 HF238 for
    Windows/64)
    Currently product documentation indicates that behaviour is
    working as designed as per reference
    In presentation is indicated that its required to to have
    different internet sites for SAML and not SAML enabled users.
    
    
    Also in the presentation is indicated that if multiple sites at
    the domino server needs to be SSL protected, each one nenes
    their HTTPS url, each one needs its own SSL Keyring.kyr file
    and each one needs its own ip address
