To use your authentication provider with a site:
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
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.
