Just to clarify, PerfsonarUI communicates with an identity provider to
authenticate you, not with particular AS service. I understand this
works fine.

If you are able to retrieve information from the MA service without
authentication (via playground or another client), this indeed means
your sqlma service is not configured to use an AS.
