Limit on How Many Times a User can be Redirected using Actions in an Authorization Flow

Problem statement

How many times can a user be redirected using Actions in an authorization flow? This has changed from Rules as the limit with Rules was only once, as noted in Redirect Users from Within Rules.

You can redirect a user once per authentication flow. If you have one rule that redirects a user, you cannot invoke a second rule to redirect the user at a later time.

Solution

Actions can redirect multiple times in an authentication flow. There is no hard limit on the number of times. However, the following restrictions apply:

  • Each unique URL can be redirected to only once per authentication flow
  • Only one redirection per Action
