Note, this is an advanced configuration feature. Most deployments can rely on the <SSO> shorthand element.

Table of Contents

Indicated by type="Cookie", this initiator checks for a cookie maintained as part of the SP's IdP history feature and uses it to obtain the entityID to use for later SessionInitiator handlers in a chain. This handler doesn't actually cause a response to the browser, but it generally runs first in a chain, and allows the entityID to be set before other handlers run. As a discovery handler, no entityID can be known (or the handler will silently ignore the request, since discovery would serve no purpose).

The SP's IdP history can be enabled via the idpHistory attribute on the <Sessions> element.
