Hello,

I am trying to implement FusionAuth as idP for an application (SuiteCRM) and am getting an error at the redirect.

I am running FusionAuth (1.62.1) in Docker for testing but get the same error on our staging instance.

The error is:

FusionAuth encountered an exception while processing the SAML v2 AuthnRequest.
The request originated from: 172.19.0.1.

Using the Onelogin decoder tool (https://www.samltool.com/decode.php) the request seems valid and is shown below:

<samlp:AuthnRequest

</samlp:AuthnRequest>

In SuiteCRM I am following the directions in the manual here:
[https://docs.suitecrm.com/8.x/admin/configuration/saml/8.7.0-saml-configuration/](link url)

If anyone has any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hello,
We have been using fusionauth for a while now but not utilised the email features for passwords etc.
fusinauth is running as a docker instance on an IONOS server.
I am trying to setup the SMTP settings as per the mannual and get the error when testing with the test button:

I have tested the SMTP server configuration using the swaks tool as reccommended by many posts on the forum with a successful reply using this command:
swaks --to mymail@address --from another@address --server smtp.office365.com --port 587 --auth LOGIN --auth-user <my_username> --auth-password <my_password> -tls
I have checked with IONOS that the ports 25 & 587 are actually open.
Not sure what else it could be. Does anyone have any ideas?
