### Description

I setup SAML for authenticating user to rocketchat. I like to use the layout=embedded for a simple chat on my website - only one channel. So if the user first time come to my site ([http://mysite/channel/general?layout=embedded](http://mysite/channel/general?layout=embedded)) he will be redirected to the IdP (simplesaml) and after successfull authentication he will be redirect to: [http://mysite/home?saml\_idp\_credentialToken=xxx](http://mysite/home?saml_idp_credentialToken=xxx). This is not the site with embedded layout ☹

Did I do something wrong? Are there more params necessary than layout=embedded?

Thanks for help 🙂  
Stephan

ADMIN --\> GENERAL --\> iFrame Integration

Sorry, but that doesn’t help. I’ll still get the /home after login with saml. Did you really use SAML for login?  
If you use a normal login with username and password, it works. You start with embedded layout and after login your are still in embedded layout - but not with SAML.

Thanks,

We are too affecting this isssue, redirect url always is /home after login with saml, so this means that it is impossible to use chat inside applications with external authentication.
