Issue with Sisense Compose SDK and SSO Authentication

Hi all!

I am currently facing an issue while trying to visualize data on my dashboard using the Sisense Compose SDK in combination with SSO authentication (auth0). I have followed the guidelines provided in the following article to set up SSO with Auth0: Link to Article: Setting up SSO (SAML 2.0) with Auth0

Despite following the instructions in the article, I am unable to make it work as intended.

Here is the problem I am encountering:

After successfully logging in to my application, I attempt to load data from Sisense using the SDK
The SDK redirects me to the Sisense dashboard (because "/api/auth/isauth" responds with not authenticated)
I am successfully logged into Sisense; however, I cannot access the data from my dashboard

Upon further investigation, I noticed that the issue appears to be related to the browser not sending all the necessary cookies when making the "/api/auth/isauth" request. This request consistently returns "isAuthenticated": false, even though I am logged in.

Best regards, Ziga

Hi Ziga,

Yesterday we released a minor version of Compose SDK, 0.12.0, which includes a fix for SSO URL /api/auth/isauth. Can you upgrade to that version and get back to me if the issue still persists?

Thanks for using Compose SDK.

Hi Tuan,

I have tested the new version of the SDK, and there is some progress. It successfully passes the /api/auth/isauth request now. However, I'm encountering issues with any subsequent requests made to the API.

Request to /api/activities?trc=sdk-ui-0.12.1 is returning a 401 Unauthorized response.
Request to /api/datasources/{my_datasource}/jaql?trc=sdk-ui-0.12.1 is also returning a 401 Unauthorized response.

I've checked the failing requests and noticed that the same cookie, which is sent with the /api/auth/isauth request, is being used with the failed requests.
