How to provide additional parameters from application side to redirects?

You can include additional query parameters in the authorization request. These parameters are preserved throughout the authentication flow and can be accessed during login, registration, and after successful authentication in your application.

Overview​

Additional parameters (also called "extra params") allow you to pass custom data through the authentication flow. These parameters are automatically attached to all redirect URLs, enabling you to maintain application state and context throughout the authentication process.

Usage​

Adding parameters to the authorization request​

Include your custom parameters as query parameters in the authorization URL:

{base_url}/authz-srv/authz?redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback&additional_state_data=anydata&anyfurther_additional_data=anythingelse

Example​

const authzUrl = `https://yourdomain.cidaas.com/authz-srv/authz?
  redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback&
  client_id=your-client-id&
  response_type=code&
  scope=openid profile email&
  additional_state_data=user-context-123&
  campaign_id=summer-2024&
  referrer=landing-page`;

How it works​

  1. Authorization request: Add your custom parameters to the authorization URL
  2. Flow preservation: Parameters are automatically attached to all redirect URLs during the flow
  3. Access in application: Retrieve parameters from the callback URL after successful authentication

Use cases​

  • State management: Pass application state through the authentication flow
  • Analytics: Track campaign IDs, referrers, or user context
  • Deep linking: Maintain context for post-authentication redirects
  • Custom routing: Pass routing information for post-login navigation
