Support Salesforce Sites for an Authentication Provider

When you set up single sign-on (SSO) with an authentication provider, use the site request parameter to log in users to a site. You can also link to a site user.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To view the settings: View Setup and Configuration

AND

Manage Auth. Providers

To use your authentication provider with a site:

  • Enable the authentication provider to use with a site.
  • Ensure that the site is configured to use the same portal.
  • Add the site-specific login URL information to the appropriate client configuration URL, such as the Single Sign-On Initialization URL, using the site parameter
Example
Example

You create a site login Visualforce page or default login page. Here’s an example of the site’s login URL: https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/SiteLogin.

Here’s an example of a site-login URL added to the Single Sign-On Initialization URL using the site parameter, where:https://login.salesforce.com/services/auth/sso/orgID/URLsuffix?site=https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/SiteLogin

  • orgID is your Auth. Provider ID
  • URLsuffix is the value you specified when you defined the authentication provider

If you don’t specify a site parameter, Salesforce sends the user to either a standard portal if one is set up, or the standard application if not.
