Fixed in this release
| Problem | Short description | Description | Steps to reproduce |
|---|---|---|---|
Mobile PRB703553 |
SSO on Android - Better handling of CSRF tokens | Successful SSO authentication triggers a API call to fetch a secret. If this is missing a valid CSRF token, even though it is not fully authenticated yet, authentication needs to retry with the token provided in the 401 response. | Upon SSO authentication, when the IDP redirects back to the instance, an
Android 'toast' will pop up saying 'Incorrect username or password'. Note: SSO is a
complex area. If you still experience this issue, contact ServiceNow Customer Support. |
