Google Drive authentication randomly fails in a multi-node cloud environment

Issue

• Google Drive authentication usually works correctly, but sometimes it randomly fails with java.lang.IllegalStateException: Authorization oAuth2State not initialized errors in the logs.
• Google Drive was linked to the environment correctly following the official documentation.
• My environment is clustered.

Environment

• Quarterly Release
• PaaS
• SaaS

Resolution

• This issue is fixed by LPD-41695.

Additional Information

• Google Drive authentication can fail when users switch nodes between storing and retrieving credentials, because the nodes access different instances of the map storing the credentials.
• The fix for LPD-41695 broadcasts any changes to a map storing credentials across all the nodes in a cluster.
