Default Application Dropdown Limited To 100 Applications In IDP-Initiated SSO Configuration

This article explains the limitation where the Default Application dropdown menu in the Identity Provider (IdP)-Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration for a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) enterprise connection does not display applications beyond the first page.

• SAML Enterprise Connections

• IdP-Initiated SSO

The application dropdown list within the Dashboard is limited to 100 applications. Applications that fall outside the first 100 entries, based on creation date and alphabetical sorting, are not displayed in the list.

The Management API can be used to configure an application as the default, regardless of whether it appears in the dropdown menu.

1. Retrieve the Connection ID from the top of the connection settings page in the Dashboard.

2. Retrieve the Client ID of the application to be set as the default.

3. Send a PATCH request to the Update a connection endpoint (/api/v2/connections/<connection_id>).

4. Include the following JSON payload, replacing <client_id> with the Client ID retrieved in step 2:

   {
     "options": {
       "idp_initiated": {
         "client_id": "<client_id>",
         "client_protocol": "oauth2",
         "enabled": true
       }
     }
   }

5. Set the client_protocol based on the application type: oauth2 for OpenID Connect (OIDC) or standard web applications, samlp for SAML applications, or wsfed for WS-Federation.
