SAML api

[alec.kustanovich]

Hi, Im trying to create a custom saml login page, Im using the start login and complete login apis but Im not sure how to use the code. Whats the best way to use this code in order to create a link used to login to the idp? Do I have to manually create the xml, deflate it, encode it, and then build the url? or is there something that fusionauth provides?

Thanks for the help in advance!

@alec-kustanovich I'm not quite sure what you are asking for here.

Are you talking about how to create the link to the SAML identity provider outside of FusionAuth?

Or are you talking in particular about the code that is provided to you at the end of the start API call, as documented here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/identity-providers/samlv2#start-a-saml-v2-login-request
