Hello,

I thoroughly followed the instruction given here [22. Setting up Enterprise Authentication — Automation Controller Administration Guide v4.5](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/administration/ent_auth.html#transparent-saml-logins) and somehow transparent logins do work (input any AWX based URL, get transparently redirected to SAML provider, return to AWX with a working login).

But there’s a catch: The user doesn’t end up at the URL they initially provided.

Example:

Original URL: [https://myawx.fqdn/#/jobs/playbook/90/output](https://myawx.fqdn/#/jobs/playbook/90/output)

Resulting URL after successful transparent login: [https://myawx.fqdn/#/home](https://myawx.fqdn/#/home)

which is the Dashboard.

I would expect to be redirected back to the original URL.

SAML Provider is Entra (Azure)  
Relay State there is set to “myidp”

Login redirect override URL in AWX is set to “/sso/login/saml/?idp=myidp”

What am I doing wrong?
