If I am already logged in to Octopus, and I click a deep link (e.g. https://OctopusServer/app#/projects/Projects-1/releases/1.0.0/deployments/Deployments-1) I am taken directly to the requested page.
If I am not logged in I am obviously taken to the login dialog but after logging in I am taken to the dashboard.
Would it be possible to continue on to the requested link after authentication rather than going to the dashboard?
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for getting in touch. I did a little bit of testing to see if I could reproduce this behavior. Interestingly for me browsing to a deep link in Octopus 2.6.5 worked as expected, and so did Octopus 3.1.0.
You can give it a shot by navigating to our demo server and signing in as a Guest: https://demo.octopusdeploy.com/app#/projects/Projects-2/releases/3.0.1539/deployments/Deployments-7100
(We have retention policies so this deep link may 404 in a few days - that’s OK, just navigate to another deployment to create a new deep link)
What version of Octopus Deploy are you seeing this behavior on? Also what browser are you using, and does it behave differently for you in different browsers? (I’ve tested in Chrome and IE11)
Hope that helps!
Mike
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the quick reply.
One thing I forgot to say is that I’m using the Windows domain login which doesn’t seem to continue with the link.
I’ve tested in chrome and IE 11 against Octopus 3.0.24.0
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for giving me that context, and yes, I’ve been able to reproduce the problem when I’m signing in using NTLM in Octopus 3.1.0 in Chrome and IE.
I’ve raised a GitHub Issue you can follow to keep abroad of the fix for this bug.
Thanks for taking the time to report it!
Mike
Hi Ryan,
Just wanted to let you know this fix should ship in Octopus 3.2.16.
Hope that helps!
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the update, I’ve just seen that 3.2.16 has gone live.
Thanks for your help 
Ryan
Hi,
Not to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like this behavior has been regressed with the release of 3.5.0 and upon successful NTLM login the context is being lost and the user is directed to the main dashboard.
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for getting in touch with us and reporting the regression! I’m so sorry. I’ve just reproduced this on our demo server.
We did test this scenario when rebuilding the AD authentication for 3.5, but it must have regressed in the late stages of the release. I’ve raised this GitHub Issue to fix it again: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/2893
Hope that helps!
Mike
