A company is moving all of its web applications to an SSO configuration using SAML. Some employees report that when signing in to an application, they get an error message on the login screen after entering their username and password, and are denied access. When they access another system that has been converted to the new SSO authentication model, they are able to authenticate successfully without being prompted for login. Which of the following is MOST likely the issue?
A) The employees are using an old link that does not use the new SAML authentication.
B) The XACML for the problematic application is not in the proper format or may be using an older schema.

The employees are likely using an old link that does not use the new SAML authentication, which is why they encounter an error when trying to log in. When they access another system that uses the new SSO configuration, they can authenticate successfully, indicating that the issue is specific to the link or configuration of the problematic application.
