Nice informations .
May be you have a hint for me about “strange” behaviour whe I use deep linking in an socialSignIn driven APEX APP. If a spezific page is secured/authorized – deep link doesn’t work if not it work like a charm. The APEX Version is 24.1?

Hi Thorsten,

Deep linking can be very challenging. If a page requires authentication (authN) it will redirect to login. If you have enabled deep linking in your application it should work even with social sign-on. If the page has an authorization (authZ) scheme, you will only get access to the page if you pass the authZ requirements. The extra challenge is related to passing parameters to the page. If the page or any of the parameters require a checksum (session state protection is enabled), you must include the checksum in the original request (before you are redirected to social sign-on). This means that the SSP settings must allow the checksum to be at the application or user level (not the session level). If it is at the user level, then the user that logs in must be the same as the user that the checksum was generated for. This can all be very difficult to accomplish and can take a significant amount of trial and error the first few times you try to get it working.

I hope this helps. If you provide more detail I may be able to give more specific advice.

Best of luck,

Anton
