3023735 - External Onboarding Users Redirected to SSO Login When Using Reset Password Link

Symptom

  • External onboarding candidates are redirected to the SSO login page when clicking the initial Reset Password or Welcome Email link, instead of being prompted to set a password.
  • When I click the Reset Password or Welcome Email link, I’m redirected to our SSO/company/Microsoft login instead of the password setup page (IAS), so I can’t set or reset my password.
  • The links are unreliable—sometimes expired, invalid, or pointing to the wrong environment/URL (e.g., prod vs. dev), causing 403 errors, loops, or an unclickable experience.
  • Even after using the link, I’m sent back to a generic login/SSO page and can’t access the onboarding portal or complete my tasks.
  • The process is confusing: I receive password reset emails even though SSO is enabled, I’m prompted for unexpected username/email inputs, or the second use of a link stops working.
  • Specific cases fail too—rehire/restart emails and welcome/activation links route me to the wrong page (e.g., email overview or company login) instead of a proper password setup prompt.
