Hi

 

Thanks for your reply, that seems to give errors, I get

 

FreeMarker template error
The following has evaluated to null or missing: ==> http.request.parameters.name.referrer....

 

When I use

http.request.referrer!

 

and 

 

http.request.parameters.name.referrer!

 

http.request.referrer! works, but doesn't get me the SSO referrer. When someone signs in the get sent to another site eg

 

Lithium->SSO Page->(sign in)->back to Lithium

 

I don't get the sign in ref, just a blank

 

http.request.parameters.name.referrer! is always blank

Hi James,

maybe these questions are obvious but I want to make sure we are not missing anything

  1. Is the parameter definitely there after the SSO login redirects back to Lithium?
  2. Is the parameter named "referrer"?

I've checked the documentation and actually you were right in that http.request.referrer should return the referrer parameter so my approach should have the same final result as http.request.referrer but this last one is more flexible (if you change the parameter name in the SSO admin configuration you don't have to change the code).

 

Thanks,

 

Nico
