Troubleshooting
Exception while processing SAML response: "Index 0 out of bounds for length 0"
This is an attribute mapping issue.
You need to send 2 required SAML assertion attributes to NetSuite app:
- email: Set userEmail or username as value
- account: Enter NetSuite Account Id in custom attribute
After clicking the SSO link on login.xecurify.com, you're getting the error "HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL"
- This integration issue is affecting login access to application.
- The permission level for Setup SAML Single Sign-on should be set to full. However, in the custom role you're using, this permission doesn't seem to be available, and you're unable to add it. You can add this permission when creating a new role.
