Contextual SSO into Orion

Purpose: This article will provide steps on how to SSO to specific pages with Orion Connect.

Simple Use Case: You would like users to land on commonly used pages when they SSO into Orion, such as the advisor’s main dashboard, or a specific household in Portfolio View. This can be done as a relay state via a SAML SSO or as a deep link via out login framework.  

Scope and Outputs: How to use SAML relay to land on the Orion Homepage, or a specific entity within Orion, such as household or account. 

Process Overview: Use either a relay state via our SAML SSO or as a deep link via our Oauth framework. 

Then use the appropriate endpoint in the relay state or to complete the login landing on the correct page.  

Process Steps:

Process Tips or Controls:

  1. Entities: 5 = Household, 6 = Registration, 7 = Account, 107 = Portfolio Group. Then the Entity ID is the Orion ID for that entity you want, and the entity ID is the entity ID in Orion.  The examples above show 5 for the household entity and 74 for the Household ID. 
  2. The SAML relay state may also need to be encoded.  If you’re not getting the expected results, please encode the URL as such.  %2Forion%2Fdashboard%3Fentity%3D5%26entityId%3D74
