Elizabeth
  • Updated

Redirect learners to specific destinations after login

Make the path to your courses as smooth as possible for learners after they log in.

Availability: all customers

Access permissions

  • Admins with full portal permissions: can set up the feature 

Prerequisites

These redirects require SAML SSO set up on your portal with an identity provider (IdP). See:

See detailed how-to instructions for the most popular IdPs:

Redirect URI

You can set a redirect_uri parameter with SSO, to redirect SSO users to a specific a web address after they log in.

Redirect the user to the internal catalog

Send the learner straight to the internal catalog to browse courses.

https://yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/catalog

Redirect to a course available in the catalog: legacy course view

https://yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/catalog/courses/{course_id}

This example requires the destination course's ID in LearnUpon. To access course IDs:

See Find help: find and copy identifiers from your portal

Redirect to a course: content details view

LearnUpon has released a refreshed interface for learners viewing and exploring their course and learning path details. This interface requires a different URI from the legacy course view.

See Learner view: content details and registering for sessions for more information.

https://yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/content-details/{course_id}/0

This example requires the destination course's ID in LearnUpon. To access course IDs:

See Find help: find and copy identifiers from your portal

Launch a specific course for the user

https://yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/enrollments/{enrollment_id}

This example requires the enrollment ID that you want to launch: the application generates this identifier when you enroll users. To access enrollment IDs:

See Find help: find and copy identifiers from your portal

Tip: To launch the course description page when the enrollment starts, add %3Fvd%3D1 to the end of your redirect_uri, which sends LearnUpon a redirect parameter of ?vd=1.

Redirect the user to your store

https: //yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/store 

Redirect to a specific course on the store

https://yourportal.learnupon.com/saml/init?redirect_uri=/store/{course_id} 

This example requires the destination course's ID in LearnUpon. To access course IDs:

See Find help: find and copy identifiers from your portal

Disable login page

See: Set up SAML SSO for your portal

If you select Disable portal login page in Settings > Integrations> SAML SSO >General Settings, you can still access the portal login page by adding users/sign_in?no_sso=true to the standard portal URL. For example: 

https:// yourportal.learnupon.com/users/sign_in?no_sso=true

Note: when you log in through SSO, you are authenticated for a single portal, rather than all your portals.

The portal switcher in your top navigation bar shows only the portals where you are already logged in. To retain access to all your portals through the portal switcher, log in through the LearnUpon sign-in page, by adding users/sign_in?no_sso=true suffix to your portal URL.

Next steps with SAML SSO

See SAML SSO: send default and custom user data to LearnUpon about setting up additional customization for learners, to improve their learning experience.
