RelayState from ReceiveSsoAsync is always null

SAML for ASP.NET Core

The fact that RelayState is always null is not surprising because it’s not clear to me where that value is coming from. Currently I’m testing with IdP Initiated login with OKTA. My hunch is that the value would be set there, but I’m not seeing where.

Found it on the OKTA app configuration page.

Thanks for the update. Just to add to this, for IdP-initiated SSO the relay state is sent along with the SAML response and specifies the target URL (ie deep link) the SP should redirect to once SSO completes. It’s normally part of the IdP’s configuration.
