Mitigation
Users of affected versions should apply the following mitigation:
- Releases that have fixed this issue include:</p><ul><li>Spring Cloud SSO Connector: 2.1.3</li></ul>
- Alternatively, you can perform <u>one</u> of the following workarounds:</p><ul><li>Bind your resource server to the SSO service plan via a service instance binding</li><li>Set “sso.connector.cloud.available=true” within your Spring application properties</li></ul>
