"Missing state parameter in response from identity provider." How to Solve It?

The error "Missing state parameter in response from identity provider" indicates that the state parameter is not being passed back to the relying party from the OpenAM QR Code service chain. This can be caused by a few different factors, but the most common reason is that the relying party has not been configured to use the correct settings for state management. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

1. Check the OpenAM configuration for the QR Code service chain. Ensure that the "Stateless Token" option is enabled in the "Advanced" tab of the "Datastore Settings" section.

2. Verify that the relying party application is configured to use the correct OpenAM endpoint for the QR Code service chain.

3. Check the relying party application configuration to ensure that it is configured to use stateful session management, and that the state parameter is included in the request to the OpenAM QR Code service chain.

4. Check the OpenAM logs for any errors or warnings related to state management. This can help identify any issues with the configuration or setup of the QR Code service chain.

5. If all else fails, try clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser, as this can sometimes resolve issues related to state management.

If you continue to experience issues, it may be helpful to consult the OpenAM documentation or seek assistance from the OpenAM community or support team.
