[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-560) Include "state" parameter in OpenID Connect authorization request

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-560?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16463139#comment-16463139 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-560:
------------------------------------------

Regarding your case specifically, is there no way to configure your identity provider to not require the {{state}} parameter? While the spec stipulates what the client must do if they provide the {{state}} parameter in the initial request, whether that parameter is provided in the request is still up to the client.

> {quote}i've tried to get this setup. Unfortunately it seems Okta insist (even with Single Page App (SPA)) to have state field in the POST even if (when using SPA) it's not actually used. The guacamole client just goes in a redirect loop with error in URL visible of "invalid state".
