We are continuing to investigate reports of users experiencing login issues via SAML SSO. The issue appears to be limited to the SAML SSO Reference URLs (Quick Launch SSO URLs). As a workaround, please use the actual URLs of WatchGuard sites instead of the Quick Launch SSO links when logging in. We'll post our next update in 30 minutes, if not sooner.

We have identified the issue and a fix is being implemented. The issue is caused by a recent change in our app service that handles redirection of SAML SSO Reference URLs. We'll post our next update in 30 minutes, if not sooner.
