Is SamlRequest a required field
When our platform initiates a Saml sign on flow; it simply redirects to the URL provided in an Okta Application `Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL.` Currently; our platform does not generate a SAMLRequest. With Okta (and with Google) this still works; and the Saml sign on flow completes.
We are not trying to integrate with a PingIdentity solution; and PingIdentity errors on the missing SAMLRequest.
Is SAMLRequest a mandatory part of the Saml flow? And if so, why is Okta able to process with out it being provided?
Hi Brent,
Usually the SAML payload should contain a SamlRequest and a SamlResponse so that we can perform authentication in the application. Even if your application doesn't provide that, I would suggest to open a support ticket so we can take a look at your app and help you implement it , if possible.
Thanks,
