SSO without the hosted login page

Help

I am extremely confused by the Auth0 documentation. Is it possible to do this:

  • User types their email address on our
    website and presses enter
  • Our website recognizes the email domain as a federated user and uses the V8 SDK to call auth0
  • Auth0 redirects to the specified IDP provider to allow the user to login
  • Once the user logs in they get sent back to a /callback endpoint in our application
  • Note I do not want the user to see the hosted login page at all

Is this possible?

What I find extremely confusing is that all of your examples suggest that we should use the v8 sdk like so to perform enterprise connections :
https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication?javascript#enterprise-saml-and-others-

  webAuth.redirect.loginWithCredentials({
    connection: 'Username-Password-Authentication',
    username: 'testuser',
    password: 'testpass',
    scope: 'openid'
  });

Why would we pass a username and password to the sdk if we are going to redirect a user to a IDP to login?
