When using SAML for SSO, hash fragment pointing to file underneath of a folder is dropped on redirect
Description
*Step to reproduce:
*
1. configure ACS 6.2.2 to use SAML and Share to use also the same authentication system
2. Open any site document library, then open a folder in this document library
3.Click on the folder to get the list of all document belonging to that folder
4. Copy from the browser URL generated
5.Open a new private window in the same browser and paste the URL
6.provide the credentials as required
7. check where the URL is being directed
*Expected behavior
*
to be redirected to the folder
localhost:9999/share/page/site/training/documentlibrary#filter=path|%2Ftestfolder|&page=1
*Actual results
*
Redirected to
localhost:9999/share/page/site/training/documentlibrary
Environment
ACS 6.2.2 , SAML, Share using SAML

This is a duplicate of MNT-18772, which is closed as Won't Fix. There are other jiras around this when using AIMS. Investigation has found that this is expected behavior; iDPs are expected to drop hash fragments on redirect. See here and here. In the case of AIMS, since we can control the behavior, we were able to find a workaround, which goes against the standards. If the iDP you are using doesn't have the ability to configure this, then there is nothing that we can do from a product side to change this behavior.
