Symptoms

While authenticating with a third party IdP site, the site may show a message indicating that the cookie sent from client was invalid.

Impact

Edge Client is redirected to IdP site and the site displays a message indicating that the cookie was invalid or that there was a problem with the cookie. User is not prompted for authentication credentials on the IdP.

Conditions

All of the following conditions should be met. - User connects using Edge Client, disconnects and then attempts to connect again. - APM is using SAML authentication with a third party IdP - IdP uses multiple cookies to identify user session

Workaround

Restart Edge Client before connecting again.
