Hi All,

So we have a user who is trying to use the 'Online Accounts' feature with
Ubuntu is 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) and Gnome 3.38.1. These are the steps he's
following:
He opens 'Online Accounts'
Selects 'Google'
What looks like a custom built-in browser loads a Google page which asks
for an email address
He enters his email address
He's then redirected to Shib, which returns the error
I'm unable to reproduce this on a Linux Mint machine. I'm redirected to
Shib and provided our login page with no issues so perhaps it's something
w/ the version of Ubuntu/Gnome he's using, or maybe a configuration issue
on his machine but I really don't know.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason
