This page provides tips to address and work around issues that you may encounter.

SSO Login

If you attempt to log on and receive the unauthorized_ client Invalid redirect_uri error, check whether the correct quick fix (QF) is applied.

The required QF depends on the SAST version in use:

  • For SAST 9.4: 9.4.0.QF_VSCodeSAML.zip

  • For SAST 9.3: 9.3.0.QF_VSCodeSAML.zip

  • For SAST 9.2: 9.2.0.QF_VSCodeSAML.zip

CxOrigin Issue

The VS Code plugin is sending the CxOrigin value of “Visual-Studio-Code” to the Checkmarx server.

The CxOrigin value is mandatory for Checkmarx server instances with a “Security gate license”. Submitting a different value triggers the “Forbidden” error.

Notice

  • The Security gate license is not supported for Checkmarx servers prior to 9.0 version.

  • The “Visual-Studio-Code” CxOrigin value does not work with Checkmarx version 9.0 with the Security Gate license. This particular configuration requires a special hotfix.
