After the initial choice, the instance is created, and you cannot change the Instance ID anymore.

Allowed return URLs​

Only the URLs added in the list of Allowed return URLs can be used as a valid URL with the return_to query parameter.

This is a security feature. The feature protects your users from being redirected to pages not explicitly defined by you.

Add each Allowed return URL on a new line.

The default value of the Allowed return URLs is generated based on your Instance ID:

https://${instanceId}.id.nevis.cloud

Default return URL​

Default return URL is the fallback URL where the user is redirected after visiting the Logout URL in the following cases:

  • if the value of the return_to query parameter is not on the list of Allowed return URLs, or
  • if no return_to query parameter is used.

The user is redirected to the Default return URL after finishing the flow in the following cases:

  • if the value of the return_to query parameter is not on the list of Allowed return URLs, or
  • if no return_to query parameter is provided.

This applies for calls to the Logout URL, as well as the user invitation and password reset flows.

https://${instanceId}.id.nevis.cloud
info

Change the Default return URL to a URL of your choice, otherwise your users see an error page instead.

Logout URL​

Visiting the Logout URL terminates the user session.

The Logout URL is generated based on your Instance ID, and cannot be changed:

https://${instanceId}.id.nevis.cloud/sso/logout

Optionally, you can redirect a user to a specific URL after the logout by setting the value of the return_to query parameter to one of the Allowed return URLs, for example:

https://${instanceId}.id.nevis.cloud/sso/logout?return_to=www.my-company.com

Custom user attributes​

You can request custom user attributes. For more information, see Custom user attributes.
