Overview

With IdP-initiated login, users can launch Adobe apps directly from their IdP portal (such as Azure AD, Okta, or Google) with a smoother, one-click experience. This reduces login friction, standardizes enterprise workflows, and improves overall usability.

This feature is:

• Supported for both new and existing SAML directories

• Available for all SAML identity providers

• Fully additive and does not impact existing SP-initiated login flows
  
  

Admins can also optionally configure RelayState to control where users land after signing in, such as Adobe Home, Adobe Express, Experience Cloud Home, Workfront, or Adobe Experience Manager.

Why this matters

This update significantly improves both the user experience and IT administration experience by providing:

• Faster, simpler access to Adobe apps directly from the organization’s IdP.

• Reduced login friction and fewer support tickets.

• A login experience consistent with other enterprise SaaS applications.

• Better support for environments using Azure, ADFS, Google, and other federated systems.

• Cleaner deployments in education and enterprise environments where IdP app launchers are widely used.

Where to Find It

Go to Admin Console Identity settings > SAML RelayState to customize where users land after signing via IdP-initiated login.
