Abstract
The automatic troubleshooting of failed single sign on attempts via an identity provider to a service provider. When an error message is encountered due to that failed single sign on attempt, that error message is used to automatically identify a root cause of the failure of the single sign on attempt. In some embodiments, a resolution of the failure is also identified, and a tool for the resolution automatically provided to the user. Such failures in single sign on attempts usually are due to improper configuration information being provided to the identity provider. The principles described herein allow a user to test ahead of time whether they have provided proper configuration information to the identity provider, and potentially correct any problems in the single sign on experience in advance, perhaps well in advance of actually needing a resource provided by the service provider.
