Please use the link format  below to deep-link into Litmos using ADFS as your SAML IDP

 https://*IDP-URL*/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx?RelayState=RPID=https://*LitmosDomain*.litmos.com/integration/splogin&RelayState=https://**LitmosDomain*.litmos.com/course/**COURSE ID**

Note: Customers on our Australian and European Data Centers will need to use their respective Litmos domains (domain.Litmos.com.au, domain.LitmosEU.com)

This is the Deep-Link that can be provided to users. CourseID is found in the course settings. You can also create a Deep-Link to a learning path by using the LearningPathID (Ex: https://**LitmosDomain*.litmos.com/home/learningpath/**Learning Path ID**).

Note: The Course or Learning Path needs to be in the Course Library, or assigned to the learner directly for the redirect to work. If it isn't, the learner will get a lockout error. 

CHROME Version 85 and greater: Deep Linking with ADFS with Chrome 85+version will not work if your ADFS server has not specified a referrer policy. 

Please see the below link to understand the security changes that Chrome has released.

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2020/07/referrer-policy-new-chrome-default
Chrome has changed the default referral policy (ie: how it behaves if no policy is specified) from "no-referrer-when-downgrade" to "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" in v85 and later version which is why this issue has emerged.

Workaround:
The workaround for this is to disable the referrer option in Chrome and inform all the users to perform this on their Chrome.

1) Type chrome://flags

2) Press Enter

3) Search Reduce default "referer" header granularity

4) Select Disable 

5) Relaunch the browser and deep links will work.

​

(OR)

ADFS Server:

You can run the commands to tell ADFS to specify a referrer policy. Please check with Microsoft support regarding this.
