MFP 7.1 - SRVE0190E: File not found: /apps/services/my_custom_auth_request_url

Question

We see this error a lot on our Test server. This happens usually after application has been into background for a while. Once this error occurs user is not able to do any thing. This issue goes off once App is killed and restarted.

Answer 1

I assume that you are using a custom authenticator, and that your challenge handler uses submitLoginForm with the url my_custom_auth_request_url.

First, make sure that of course your custom authenticator knows how to respond to my_custom_auth_request_url.

But most likely, the error you are seeing is because you are trying to do a submitLoginForm outside of a challenge context.

Meaning, either:

• you are trying to login before receiving any challenge.
• you received a challenge, let the session expire, and then try to answer it too late.
• You did not make sure that every single challenge you receive either ends by a submitLoginForm or a submitFailure.
• It could also be related to your other question (MFP 7.1 - FWLSE0342E: Grant code validation failed: Grant code was already used). If your sessions are not handled correctly, you lose the context of the challenge.
