Known Issue MAS - SAML users replacing local user login

 SAML users replacing local user login.


Unless explicitly defined, we should not allow a SAML user to login to MAS using a local user userid.


The scenario is:

You have SAML configured.

userA is a local user;

userA is also a SAML user (in the company IDP) but not part of MAS.

userB is a SAML user in MAS.

1- Customer goes to MAS login page and input userB username;

2- MAS will redirect the user to SAML;

3- Customer inputs credentials for userA instead of userB in the IDP login page;

4- SAML assertion will return nameID as userA, which in MAS the user is a local user only.


What should happen?

In the step 4, user should get a not-authorized message as it does not exists in MAS as SAML user.
