How To: Configure IdP Initiated Deep Linking from Cornerstone OnDemand – SecureAuth Support

Version Affected: All

Overview

This article explains how to configure a Deep Link base URL in Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD) so that a link can take a user to an exact location within Cornerstone, instead of the Cornerstone home page, after authenticating through the SecureAuth Identity Provider (IdP).

Open the Cornerstone admin page and navigate to the Deep Link settings.
Add a new Base URL.
Set the link to the following, as shown below:

https://youridp.example.com/SecureAuthXX/SecureAuth.aspx?Target=https://yourcornerstone.csod.com

Where youridp.example.com is the external fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the IdP, SecureAuthXX is the realm number to use for this deep link, and yourcornerstone.csod.com is the address of the Cornerstone site.

Cornerstone Deep Link Generator Base URL settings with the SSO link configured, pointing to the IdP realm with a Target parameter set to the Cornerstone site.
