Support for landing page

[justincatalana]

What would be the best way to first direct the unauthenticated user to a landing page prior to having them navigate to the IdP for logging in?

The current user experience is a little jarring just redirecting them over to the IdP, and not acknowledging the site they are visiting.

Related, can the IdP login be launched as a pop-up window as it is for a lot of websites using SSO?

I am assuming this could be worked out in similar ways to the Supporting multiple authentication strategies

Thank you!

To redirect to a landing page, I would use a devise failure app, as described in the devise wiki: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-To:-Redirect-to-a-specific-page-when-the-user-can-not-be-authenticated

I've never implemented a login flow using a popup window, but it seems possible. You'd need the landing page to communicate with the parent window when login is complete so it can refresh and load the correct page.
