After signing into Okta, users are redirected to the application's default landing page instead of the specified Default Relay State page during Service Provider (SP)-initiated sign-on.

• Default Relay State
• Service Provider (SP)-initiated Sign On

During Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication, the Default Relay State configured is truncated after the "&" symbol.

To resolve the issue, follow the steps below:

1. Copy the portion of Default Relay State beyond the "?" symbol. For instance, if the Default Relay State is: https://www.google.com/a/[DOMAIN]/ServiceLogin?continue=https://mail.google.com, copy continue=https://mail.google.com.

2. Paste the copied text into the top field of a URL encoder.

3. Click Encode.

4. Copy the encoded value displayed: continue%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com.

5. In the original Default Relay State value, replace the continue=https://mail.google.com portion with the copied encoded value continue%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com.

6. The Default Relay State should now be: https://www.google.com/a/[DOMAIN]/ServiceLogin?continue%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com.

By following these steps, users will be directed to the specified Default Relay State page during SP-initiated sign-on instead of the application's default landing page.
