I am from Informatica R&D team.
We are facing issue while certifying Okta as Identity Provider for our webapps.
Our web-apps provides SAML authentication vai Service Provider initiated SSO.
When user tries SAML login, webapp creates SAML Request and redirects the user to Okta. Webapp also sends a ‘RelayState’ parameter with SAML Request. ‘RelayState’ parameter has some web-app specific validation fields which are dynamically generated with every request.
Okta is supposed to return the same RelayState back with SAMLResponse but it is not sending it due to which web-app is not able perform the required validation.
Can you please help me out here and suggest the fix in Okta Configuration for this ?
Thanks,

Hello Nishant,
Thank you for posting your question in the community forum. When you set up a SAML application in Okta, in this case I assume you are using a custom SAML application you will be provided with a field where you can specify the Default Relay state. If there is no value set here a blank value will be sent. I am attaching the link to the same below.

If setting the Relay state here does not resolve the issue I highly encourage you to open a case with Okta support so an Engineer can go through the setup with you and customize it as per your use case.
Thank you.
