HI @mkandasamy,

You should pass in the IdP Connection’s name in the `connection` query parameter of your login request.

It should look something like the following:

```auto
https://{yourDomain}/authorize?
    response_type=code&
    client_id={yourClientId}&
    redirect_uri={https://yourApp/callback}&
    scope={scope}&
    audience={apiAudience}&
    state={state}&
    connection=YOUR_IDP_CONNECTION_NAME

```

Thanks,  
Rueben

Thanks Rueben, but I’m looking for a solution in _express-openid-connect_ nodejs library. Like the following:

```auto
app.use(
  auth({
    issuerBaseURL: process.env.AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL,
    baseURL: process.env.BASE_URL,
    clientID: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
    secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
    authRequired: true,
    auth0Logout: true,
    authorizationParams: {
    }
    //connection: "SampleMultiTenantUI-AzureAD"
  })
);

```

what would be the parameter I can pass in the nodejs middleware object indentifying connection name?

Hi @mkandasamy,

Thanks for following up.

The code snippet you shared is the correct way to pass the connection parameter into your login request.

Thanks,  
Rueben
