While configuring or using single sign-on (SSO), you may encounter issues that
can stem from your identity provider (IdP) or Docker configuration. The
following sections describe how to view the error messages in the Docker Admin
Console as well as some common errors and possible solutions. You can also see
your identity provider's documentation to learn if you can view error logs in
their service.
## View SSO and SCIM error logs
1. Sign in to the [Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin/).
2. Select your organization or company from the **Choose profile** page, and then select **SSO and SCIM**.
> [!NOTE]
>
> When an organization is part of a company, you must select the company and
> view the SSO connection for that organization at the company level.
3. In the SSO connections table, select the **Actions** icon and **View error
logs**. The **Connection errors** page appears with a list of errors that
have occurred in the past 7 days.
4. In the **Connection errors** page, select **View error details** next to an
error message for more details. A modal appears with a JSON object containing
more details.
## Common SSO errors and solutions
[View the SSO and SCIM error logs](#view-sso-and-scim-error-logs) and then use
the following sections for solutions to common configuration errors.
### IdP-initiated sign in is not enabled for connection
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
IdP-Initiated sign in is not enabled for connection '$ssoConnection'.
```
Docker doesn't support an IdP-initiated SAML flow. This error can occur when a
user attempts to authenticate from the IdP, for example using the Docker SSO App
tile on the dashboard.
Possible solutions:
* The user must initiate authentication from Docker apps (Hub, Desktop, etc).
The user needs to enter their email address and they will get redirected to
the configured SSO IdP for their domain.
* (Optional) Configure the Docker SSO App as not visible to users on your IdP
so users dont attempt to start authentication from there.
### Not enough seats in organization
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
Not enough seats in organization '$orgName'. Add more seats or contact your administrator.
```
This error can occur when attempting to provision a user into the organization
via SSO Just-in-Time provisioning or SCIM, but the organization has no available
seats for the user.
Possible solutions:
* Add more Docker Business subscription seats to the organization. For details,
see [Add seats to your subscription](../../../subscription/manage-seats.md).
* Remove some users or pending invitations from your organization to make more
seats available. For more details, see [Manage organization
members](/admin/organization/members/).
### Domain is not verified for SSO connection
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
Domain '$emailDomain' is not verified for your SSO connection. Contact your company administrator. TraceID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
```
This error occurs if the IdP authenticated a user through SSO and the UPN
returned to Docker doesnt match any of the verified domains associated to the
SSO connection configured in Docker.
Possible solutions:
* Make sure the IdP SSO connection is returning the correct UPN value as part
of the assertion attributes (attributes mapping).
* Add and verify all domains and subdomains that are used as UPN by your IdP
and associate them to your Docker SSO connection. For more details, see [Configure single sign-on](../single-sign-on/configure.md).
### Unable to find session
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
We couldn't find your session. You may have pressed the back button, refreshed the page, opened too many sign-in dialogs, or there is some issue with cookies. Try signing in again. If the issue persists, contact your administrator.
```
This error typically occurs during the authentication flow when a user presses
the back or the refresh button on the browser. This causes the sign-in flow to
lose track of the initial authentication request, which is required to complete
all authentication flows.
Possible solutions:
* Avoid pressing the back or refresh buttons during sign in.
* Close the browsers tab and start the authentication flow from the beginning
in the app (Docker Desktop, Hub, etc.)
### User is not assigned to the organization
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
User '$username' is not assigned to this SSO organization. Contact your administrator. TraceID: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
```
This error occurs if SSO Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning is disabled. JIT
provisioning ensures that a user is added to an organization after they
authenticate via SSO. JIT provisioning can be optionally disabled to prevent
users taking seats in the organization automatically or when SCIM is used as
the only option for user provisioning.
Possible solutions:
* Review your SSO connection configuration and enable JIT provisioning to add
all users to the organization after authenticating via SSO. For more details,
see [Just-in-Time
provisioning](/security/for-admins/provisioning/just-in-time/).
* If JIT provisioning should remain disabled, then add the user to the
organization by manually inviting them. Next time the user authenticates via
SSO they will get added to the org because they are invited. For more
details, see [Manage organization members](/admin/organization/members/).
* If SCIM should provision the user, then ensure that the IdP controlling SCIM
provisioning is properly configured to synchronize users with Docker as soon
as they get assigned to the app. For more details, refer to your identity
provider's documentation.
### Name ID is not an email address
An error message, similar to the following, appears in the error logs for this
issue.
```text
The name ID sent by the identity provider is not an email address. Contact your company administrator.
```
This error can occur during SAML authentication, when your IdP sends back a Name
ID (UPN) that doesn't comply with the email address format required. The Docker
SSO app requires a name identifier to be the primary email address of the user.
Possible solutions:
* Ensure that the Name ID attribute format is `EmailAddress`.

While configuring or using single sign-on (SSO), you may encounter issues that
can stem from your identity provider (IdP) or Docker configuration. The
following sections describe some common SSO errors and possible solutions.
## Check for errors
If you experience issues with SSO, check both the Docker Admin Console and your identity provider (IdP) for errors first.
#### Check Docker error logs
1. Sign in to the [Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin/) and select your organization.
2. Select **SSO and SCIM**.
3. In the SSO connections table, select the **Action** menu and then **View error logs**.
4. For more details on specific errors, select **View error details** next to an error message.
5. Note any errors you see on this page for further troubleshooting.
#### Check for errors in your IdP
1. Review your IdPs logs or audit trails for any failed authentication or provisioning attempts.
2. Confirm that your IdPs SSO settings match the values provided in Docker.
3. If applicable, confirm that you have configured user provisioning correctly and that it is enabled in your IdP.
4. If applicable, verify that your IdP correctly maps Docker's required user attributes.
5. Try provisioning a test user from your IdP and verify if they appear in Docker.
For further troubleshooting, check your IdPs documentation. You can also contact their support team for guidance on error messages.
## Groups are not formatted correctly
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
Some of the groups assigned to the user are not formatted as '<organization name>:<team name>'. Directory groups will be ignored and user will be provisioned into the default organization and team.
```
#### Possible causes
- Incorrect group name formatting in your identity provider (IdP): Docker requires groups to follow the format `<organization>:<team>`. If the groups assigned to a user do not follow this format, they will be ignored.
- Non-matching groups between IdP and Docker organization: If a group in your IdP does not have a corresponding team in Docker, it will not be recognized, and the user will be placed in the default organization and team.
#### Affected environments
- Docker single sign-on setup using IdPs such as Okta or Azure AD
- Organizations using group-based role assignments in Docker
#### Steps to replicate
To replicate this issue:
1. Attempt to sign in to Docker using SSO.
2. The user is assigned groups in the IdP but does not get placed in the expected Docker Team.
3. Review Docker logs or IdP logs to find the error message.
#### Solutions
Update group names in your IdP:
1. Go to your IdP's group management section.
2. Check the groups assigned to the affected user.
3. Ensure each group follows the required format: `<organization>:<team>`
4. Update any incorrectly formatted groups to match this pattern.
5. Save changes and retry signing in with SSO.
## User is not assigned to the organization
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
User '$username' is not assigned to this SSO organization. Contact your administrator. TraceID: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
```
#### Possible causes
- User is not assigned to the organization: If Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning is disabled, the user may not be assigned to your organization.
- User is not invited to the organization: If JIT is disabled and you do not want to enable it, the user must be manually invited.
- SCIM provisioning is misconfigured: If you use SCIM for user provisioning, it may not be correctly syncing users from your IdP.
#### Solutions
**Enable JIT provisioning**
JIT is enabled by default when you enable SSO. If you have JIT disabled and need
to re-enable it:
1. Sign in to the [Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin) and select your organization.
2. Select **SSO and SCIM**.
3. In the SSO connections table, select the **Action** menu and then **Enable JIT provisioning**.
4. Select **Enable** to confirm.
**Manually invite users**
When JIT is disabled, users are not automatically added to your organization when they authenticate through SSO.
To manually invite users, see [Invite members](/manuals/admin/organization/members.md#invite-members)
**Configure SCIM provisioning**
If you have SCIM enabled, troubleshoot your SCIM connection using the following steps:
1. Sign in to the [Admin Console](https://app.docker.com/admin) and select your organization.
2. Select **SSO and SCIM**.
3. In the SSO connections table, select the **Action** menu and then **View error logs**. For more details on specific errors, select **View error details** next to an error message. Note any errors you see on this page.
4. Navigate back to the **SSO and SCIM** page of the Admin Console and verify your SCIM configuration:
- Ensure that the SCIM Base URL and API Token in your IdP match those provided in the Docker Admin Console.
- Verify that SCIM is enabled in both Docker and your IdP.
5. Ensure that the attributes being synced from your IdP match Docker's [supported attributes](/manuals/security/for-admins/provisioning/scim.md#supported-attributes) for SCIM.
6. Test user provisioning by trying to provision a test user through your IdP and verify if they appear in Docker.
## IdP-initiated sign in is not enabled for connection
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
IdP-Initiated sign in is not enabled for connection '$ssoConnection'.
```
#### Possible causes
Docker does not support an IdP-initiated SAML flow. This error occurs when a user attempts to authenticate from your IdP, such as using the Docker SSO app tile on the sign in page.
#### Solutions
**Authenticate from Docker apps**
The user must initiate authentication from Docker applications (Hub, Desktop, etc). The user needs to enter their email address in a Docker app and they will get redirected to the configured SSO IdP for their domain.
**Hide the Docker SSO app**
You can hide the Docker SSO app from users in your IdP. This prevents users from attempting to start authentication from the IdP dashboard. You must hide and configure this in your IdP.
## Not enough seats in organization
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
Not enough seats in organization '$orgName'. Add more seats or contact your administrator.
```
#### Possible causes
This error occurs when the organization has no available seats for the user when provisioning via Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning or SCIM.
#### Solutions
**Add more seats to the organization**
Purchase additional Docker Business subscription seats. For details, see [Manage subscription seats](/manuals/subscription/manage-seats.md).
**Remove users or pending invitations**
Review your organization members and pending invitations. Remove inactive users or pending invitations to free up seats. For more details, see [Manage organization members](/manuals/admin/organization/members.md).
## Domain is not verified for SSO connection
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
Domain '$emailDomain' is not verified for your SSO connection. Contact your company administrator. TraceID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
```
#### Possible causes
This error occurs if the IdP authenticated a user through SSO and the User Principal Name (UPN)
returned to Docker doesnt match any of the verified domains associated to the
SSO connection configured in Docker.
#### Solutions
**Verify UPN attribute mapping**
Ensure that the IdP SSO connection is returning the correct UPN value in the assertion attributes.
**Add and verify all domains**
Add and verify all domains and subdomains used as UPN by your IdP and associate them with your Docker SSO connection. For details, see [Configure single sign-on](/manuals/security/for-admins/single-sign-on/configure.md).
## Unable to find session
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
We couldn't find your session. You may have pressed the back button, refreshed the page, opened too many sign-in dialogs, or there is some issue with cookies. Try signing in again. If the issue persists, contact your administrator.
```
#### Possible causes
The following causes may create this issue:
- The user pressed the back or refresh button during authentication.
- The authentication flow lost track of the initial request, preventing completion.
#### Solutions
**Do not disrupt the authentication flow**
Do not press the back or refresh button during sign-in.
**Restart authentication**
Close the browser tab and restart the authentication flow from the Docker application (Desktop, Hub, etc).
## Name ID is not an email address
#### Error message
When this issue occurs, the following error message is common:
```text
The name ID sent by the identity provider is not an email address. Contact your company administrator.
```
#### Possible causes
The following causes may create this issue:
- The IdP sends a Name ID (UPN) that does not comply with the email format required by Docker.
- Docker SSO requires the Name ID to be the primary email address of the user.
#### Solutions
In your IdP, ensure the Name ID attribute format is correct:
1. Verify that the Name ID attribute format in your IdP is set to `EmailAddress`.
2. Adjust your IdP settings to return the correct Name ID format.
