The steps users take to login via OpenID Connect are very long. They have to:
- Click the "sign in" button on the home page
- The Sign-In Portlet comes up
- Click on "OpenID Connect" link
- Choose the OpenID Identity Provider
- Click on "Sign In" button of the Sign-In Portlet, before they are redirected to the Identity Provider's Sign In Page.
- How can we shorten this process to just get to the Identity Provider's Sign In Page after the first click on the sign-in button?
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.2
- OpenID Connect Protocol
Resolution
- There are no default options available which may minimize the steps involved in the process required before a user is sent to the OpenID Connect provider.

However, there is a workaround by modifying the portal-ext.properties:
Enter a URL that will be used to login portal users whenever needed. By default, the portal's login page is used.
Env: LIFERAY_AUTH_PERIOD_LOGIN_PERIOD_URL
Examples:
auth.login.url=/web/guest/home

auth.login.url=/home/-/login/openid_connect_request?p_p_state=maximized&_com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet_saveLastPath=false&_com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet_redirect=/&_com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet_OPEN_ID_CONNECT_PROVIDER_NAME=IAM
IAM stands for the Provider Name entered under System Settings > SSO > OpenID Connect Provider.
/home stands for your home page's friendly URL. By default, it is /home.
- This way, after clicking on Sign In, the user will be automatically redirected to the Identity Provider's Sign In Page.
