Hi @jay.zahiri
I am sorry to hear about the issue that you are facing with IdP initiated SAML.
I believe there might be some kind of misconfiguration which makes the user be redirected twice once authenticating with SSO through Google Workspace.
Make sure that under the SAML connection’s IdP Initiated SSO settings you have everything set properly.
Under Default Application, the application selected should be the one you want the user to be redirected to once the SAML response is validated. Also, inside the Query String make sure that the redirect_uri you are using does not redirect the user to a different URL than the intended one.
If you have configured everything properly, then you application should redirect from step 3 directly to Google Workspace where they would be logged in.
Otherwise, I would advise to visit this Knowledge Article which explains how to implement a IdP-initiated SAML flow or review our Documentation on this matter.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please feel free to leave a reply!
Kind Regards,
Nik
