Failed OpenID test @ EA V16 RC 1603

[blaisephilip]

Dear all,
I've a certain model with configured Windows and OpenID authentication.
All internal corporate users who can use Windows SSO can log in successfully to the model. However, OpenID fails even in test. OpenID is only needed for to the management of external users with Azure AD groups, not Windows.





After clicking Test:



After clicking Login with OpenID:




There is no indication that EA would start a browser. Our IT is triggered to investigate any security-related blocked event, but still, this is a very minimal feedback from the application about what goes wrong.

The information under the links below is already known.

Hi blaisephilip,

Did you ever identify the cause, and a solution, to this issue?

I’m having exactly the same problem with my work PC. I tested it on my personal device where I'm the local admin and it worked fine, that rules out Azure config issues, so there must be local restrictions blocking some background processes.

EA was installed with a privileged account, but used with standard privileges without problems until now.  We did try to run the OpenID test with a privileged account but didn’t make any difference, it still failed.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
