Relay State in OAM

·            'Relay state’ parameter is used to automate the redirection of a user to a specific target page URL as soon as authentication against IDP is completed successfully and SAML assertion is posted to SP.

·            If it is required to show the user a specific landing page other than the home page we can configure it through Relay state.

·            E.g. If we want to take directly the user to a particular training course; we can configure it as /sf/learning/training_module_ 5 etc.

·            We can pass this value using UpdatePrtnerProperty command using wlst as below:  

  

updatePartnerProperty(partnerName="salesforce",partnerType="SP",propName="providerrelaystate",propValue="https:sf/learning/training/internal ",type="string")  

Steps:

cd /opt/oracle/middleware/Oracle_IDM1/common/bin

./wlst.sh

connect ('weblogicuser','password','t3://host:port')

domainRuntime()

updatePartnerProperty(partnerName="SalesforceSP",partnerType="sp", propName="providerrelaystate", propValue="/sf/learning")

·            Relay state values can’t be seen in SAML response but it can be observed in network trace.
