Issue

  • Liferay is configured as a SAML Service Provider.
  • When trying to sign in to Liferay it is not possible and the following error is shown in the logs: 
    2022-01-20 11:50:38.554 ERROR [default task-391][BaseSamlStrutsAction:56] com.liferay.saml.runtime.exception.AudienceException: Unable verify audience

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0+

Resolution

  • This error occurs because the value of the tag <saml2:Audience> in the SAML response does not coincide with the Service Provider identifier.
  • To solve this problem configure the Identity Provider to inform this tag value correctly.
