Subject: RE: <RelayState> element
Relay state is a bucket of bits undefined by SAML that is used to
carry some information from the Relying party back to themselves following the
AuthnRequest with the idP. For example, the RP could include some data
indicating the resource that the user was attempting to access that caused the
RP to initiate the authentication (remember the IdP must send the browser back
to the assertion consuming URL at the RP). An alternative to using relay state would be to include this
data within a cookie in the browser or some other session state method.
Relay state was intended to be used when those were not available or not
preferred by the RP. Conor From: giorgi moniava
