• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAML2124 - Can not create new opaque ID ?

  The SAP error message SAML2124: Can not create new opaque ID typically occurs in the context of Single Sign-On (SSO) configurations using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language). This error indicates that the system is unable to generate a new opaque ID, which is often required for session management and user authentication.
  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the SAML settings, such as incorrect identity provider (IdP) or service provider (SP) configurations.
  Database Issues: The underlying database may have issues, such as connectivity problems or insufficient permissions, preventing the creation of new IDs.
  Session Management Problems: There could be issues with session management settings or limits being reached, preventing new sessions from being created.
  Expired or Invalid Certificates: If the certificates used for SAML authentication are expired or invalid, it may lead to issues in generating opaque IDs.
  System Resource Limitations: The system may be running low on resources (e.g., memory, CPU), which can affect its ability to process requests.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check SAML Configuration: Review the SAML configuration settings in both the IdP and SP. Ensure that all URLs, certificates, and endpoints are correctly configured.
