Description

We have the MSAL login with the redirect option implemented in angular, which is working fine if everything is happening in the same tab. but if we copy the redirected url to a new tab and login using valid credentials, handleRedirectObservable method only returns the HANDLE_REDIRECT_END without any token info.

and when ever we invoke the login function again manually we get the login success as Normal.

I want user to get the login success as normal event if they uses the url in a new tab.

MSAL Configuration

auth: {
        clientId: clientId,
        authority: "B2C_1A_SIGNUP_SIGNIN",
        redirectUri: '/',
        navigateToLoginRequestUrl: false
    },
    cache: {
        cacheLocation: "LocalStoarage",
        storeAuthStateInCookie: false
    }

@HansakaSS I'm not sure I understand your scenario. Can you give me a step by step?

[hansakaRightS]

@tnorling thanks for the reply.
yes. whenever we use the redirect option to login, and after we redirected to the login page and we copy the page url to a new tab and continue the login i can face this issue.
it redirect me back to my application but i don't have the success login. also i can see the state and client_info on the address after the redirect back to the application.

1. invoke redirect login
2. from the login page copy the URL to a new tab
3. login using the valid credentials
4. getting redirect back to the application but I'm not getting the msal:loginSuccess. only gets the msal:handleRedirectEnd from handleRedirectObservable.

This is not a supported scenario. Login must be initiated and completed from within the same session (tab). Can you tell me a little more about why you need to open the login page in a new tab?

[hansakaRightS]

thanks for the clarification. Its not that we are opening the login in a new tab. problem occurs if we use a password vault to log in. for example zoho.

Its not that we are opening the login in a new tab.

I'm a bit confused by this statement because this seems to conflict what you stated in your previous comment:

2. from the login page copy the URL to a new tab

Can you please clarify?

problem occurs if we use a password vault to log in. for example zoho.

Can you please go into more detail about this? I don't understand how this relates.
