By @thisisnsh: Restore the pre-login page after an idp_initiated OAuth login#16961
Merged
Conversation
The management UI already remembers the page a user was on before an
OAuth login (the oauth-return-to pref) and restores it in the
sp_initiated flow via oauth_redirectToHome(). The idp_initiated flow
never restored it: start_app() always sent the user to '#/'.
idp_initiated has no dedicated OAuth callback page. The identity provider
POSTs the token to /login, the broker sets a cookie and redirects to '/',
and the app re-enters through the normal index.html -> start_app(). So
start_app() cannot tell a fresh login from a plain visit to '/': both
arrive with no hash. Reading oauth-return-to on every hashless load would
make every visit to '/' jump to the last saved page.
This change:
- Captures oauth-return-to in oauth_initiateLogin (at the login click)
rather than on page load, so a user who opens a URL and then navigates
before logging in returns to the page they actually left from.
- Sets a one-shot oauth-idp-pending marker for idp_initiated logins,
which have no callback page to key the restore on.
- In start_app, restores oauth-return-to only when oauth-idp-pending is
set, then clears both. A plain visit to '/' has no pending login and
goes home instead of jumping to the last saved page.
- Adds Selenium regression tests (with-idp-initiated/oauth-return-to.js)
covering: login from home stays on home; login from a deep-linked page
returns to it; navigating before login returns to the last page; and a
plain visit to '/' after login goes home (one-shot restore).
sp_initiated is unchanged; it keeps its own one-shot restore via
oauth_redirectToHome().
