Hello,

I’m developing a SAML auth on top of Laravel 5. The authentication process works just fine. However, I have a problem with the RelayState param.  
When I start the SAML request, I add a RelayState param (ex: &RelayState=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.local%3A8080%2Fmember). This param appears into the Auth0 login page URL. But after authentication, when getting redirected to my app, the RelayState param becomes something like “0RkkkmCwom9M\_14p6xvj28JDT3\_t7l0i”.

There is probably something I don’t understand but I thought that this param wasn’t supposed to changed during the auth process.

Why does Auth0 transmit a different param?

Thanks a lot,

Axel

That is related to _Auth0_ being a Service Provider.

In my case _Aut0_ is the IDP and from my _SP_ I’m sending a request with a `RelayState` parameter. But when the _SAMLReponse_ comes back, it have an entirely different value fro the _RelayState_ parameter
