Normally, the user should access the signup/login page through an OIDC flow, via the SDK or SAML. In such cases, the user will be redirected to the application specified by the flow.
Use the Endpoint Direct Access settings to configure what happens when users directly visit the endpoint URL (e.g. https://my-project.authgear.cloud) of an Authgear project unexpectedly.
By default, when users access the endpoint of a project directly, they'll see an error page that looks like this:
Instead of the default error message, you can show a link to redirect the user away under your logo and project name. Go to Advanced > Endpoint Direct Access, select "Show a simple brand page with a back to home link" and provide the link.
When the user accesses the endpoint URL directly in their browser, show the authentication page. After the user is authenticated, they are redirected to a custom URL, which is usually your application website.
You should use the logout function in the SDK, the end-session endpoint for OIDC integration and Logout URL for SAML integration, in which the post-logout behaviour are specified according to the flows.
But if the user directly accesses the logout page, e.g. https://myproject.authgear.cloud/logout, the Post-Logout URL in Endpoint Direct Access settings controls where Authgear will redirect users after logout.
If you are using , you can set Authgear to render the signup/login page even when the user is accessing the Endpoint URL directly. And therefore these options are only available when is enabled.
When user access the endpoint directly, they will be redirected to the /login page. After login, the user will be directed to the page (/settings).
When the user accesses the endpoint URL directly in their browser, show the authentication page. After the user is authenticated, they are redirected to the hosted page which they can manage their account.
