Redirect back to the originally-requested url after authentication with SSO - OIDC

[hagaram]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When user has opensearch dashboards opened in the browser, leaves the PC for few hours, returns back - session might be logged out. But the user was browsing some URL before he was logged out and would like to return to the same page after login.

Same behaviour occurs if someone sends the userlink e.g. some search...he is redirected to login via SSO, and after login he ends up on the "home page" of opensearch, no on the requested URL.

Describe the solution you'd like

Opensearch should remember or communicate somehow with the IDP:
A) the URL he was browsing before the logout
B) the URL hes trying to access before login

Describe alternatives you've considered
Nothing comes to my mind really.

@hagaram thanks for opening.

@opensearch-project/admin please re-direct this to security dashboards plugin.

[Triage] @hagaram can you provide some more information about your setup? Are you using basepath with opensearch dashboards? There was a recent fix for dashboards with base path, but it will be released in 2.15: #1899.

Thank you very much for replying @derek-ho . Sure!

Hello, I have been struggling with this same issue, and believe to have found the issue.
The ResponseType/ResponseMode seems to be set as "fragment", after reading this comment: keycloak/keycloak#26405 (comment)
It would seem that setting it to "query" would fix the issue.

I have also had success in replacing the # after "data-explorer%2Fdiscover" with %23 https://opensearchlink/app/login?nextUrl=%2Fapp%2Fdata-explorer%2Fdiscover%23?_a=(discover:(columns:!(_source),isDirty:!f,sort:!()),metadata:(indexPattern:logpattern,view:discover))&_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-15m,to:now))&_q=(filters:!(),query:(language:kuery,query:%27%27))

@Samoht11 How did you set the responseMode to query instead of default "fragment" ?
