How to log in to a specific page using SAML authentication

Last updated: June 19, 2026

By default, if a user logs on using a SAML login, they are taken to the L2L home screen. There is a way to override the landing page, and have your users go directly to a specific screen after login. This article will explain the steps to specify a custom landing page when using SAML to authenticate.

The process is rather simple. All you have to do is create a custom URL for users to initiate the SAML login. To do this, simply copy the "SP Initiate" URL and append a "next" URL parameter with the target URL for the landing page. This is what it would look like:

https://customer.leading2lean.com/saml/initiate/L2LSSO/?next=/landing_page/

This URL can be bookmarked, or posted on your company intranet for quick access. This URL currently cannot be customized in L2L.

Tips

  • The URL of the landing page should be URL-encoded: Replace question marks '?' with '%3F' and ampersands '&' with '%26'.
  • Be careful how you use this feature. Be sure to maintain all security protocols.
