Beskrivelse

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.

Supported SSO URL Parameters

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.
