Add url parameter before redirection

[hugokernel]

Hi,

Is there a way to add url parameter to the redirection url ? For example, Okta accepts a username argument to pre-populate the username field on the authentication form.

It would be interesting to be able to override get_location (from utils module) in order to modify the url easily before the redirection.

Thx

Not yet but you can always made a PR, see idp hinting support, it does something similar for your needs

djangosaml2/djangosaml2/views.py

Line 380 in f1507e4

response = add_idp_hinting(request, http_response) or http_response

Thank you for your response.

Because, add_idp_hinting is a function imported from utils module, it is not easy to get the wanted behavior (except by using monkey patch).

A more Django-like approach would be to create a method add_idp_hinting or get_idp_hinting in the LoginView in order to easily override the method.

@hugokernel It was on the todo list and I completely agree with you but I havent time yet to refactor the code. Would you like to join in this task and also add your desidered feature?
