No Link Code when using Single Sign-on from home
Hello,
My organization has enabled single sign-on for our dropbox work accounts. I managed to download the dropbox client on my work computer and use single sign-on just fine there. However, at ho...
Hey
To follow up for anyone else having similar issues, we are using PingFederate for our SSO. SSO works without issue when using the the web login but if you try to login using the DropBox client for windows, you'll never receive the link code like what was posted above. What we found out is that when dropbox is sending us to Ping to authenticate, in the URL string you'll see somewhere in there relaystate. If you change relaystate to TargetResource in the address bar and refresh the page, you'll get your link code. We still aren't sure how to have dropbox send targetresource instead of relaystate.
We have exactly the same problem. Already opened a support case. Is there any solution?
Hello,
I'm trying to remember exactly what we did but I know we made a change on the drop box sign in URL. it should be set to something like:
https://example.com:9031/idp/SSO.saml2
I'm not sure if you are using PingFederate or not but then we had to login to there and under the SAML connection for dropbox we had to go to the General Info tab and change the Partner Identity ID to just read Dropbox.
That fixed the issue for us.
- We are using CAS 5.0.0, which uses a fully compatible SAML v2. IdP. As a result we have to generate the Dropbox Metadata on our own. The docs say, that Dropbox uses a HTTP-Redirect Binding from SP to IdP, so we used cas.example.com/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO as login url. Maybe thats to specific. I dont know.
