In a single sign-on enabled org, it is possible to configure the landing page after logging in.
In a Salesforce org with Single Sign-On (SSO) enabled using SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), administrators can configure custom landing pages that control where users are redirected after login and after logout.
Salesforce supports three URL parameters for controlling login and logout redirection in SAML SSO configurations.
For SAML 1.1: These parameters must be URL-encoded (percent-encoded) because they are passed as query string values and may themselves contain URLs with special characters.
For SAML 2.0: These parameters are included as attributes inside the <AttributeStatement> element in the SAML assertion — URL encoding is not required.
| Parameter | Purpose | SAML Version |
| ssoStartPage | URL of the IdP login page — where users go when accessing Salesforce without an active session | 1.1 and 2.0 |
| startURL | The Salesforce page users land on after successful SSO authentication | 1.1 only |
| logoutURL | The page users are redirected to after clicking Logout in Salesforce | 1.1 and 2.0 |
The following is a sample TARGET field for SAML 1.1 that specifies all three parameters. The values are URL-encoded:
`<REDACTED>
Decoded values:
