Okta Widget showSignInAndRedirect not allowing for deep linking

Questions
1

using widget.showSignInAndRedirect().catch(handleError); it always brings me to /implicit/callback and then to the base Uri. Why isn’t it redirecting me to the deep link (protected route) I initially tried to go to while I was unauthenticated?
Steps:
Go to protected route
Get redirected to login page
Login
Get redirected to /implicit/callback
Get redirected to base url (window origin) instead of the protected route I originally attempted

Hi @jchabot86! Can you confirm which browser and SDK you are using?

In my case, the basename is /customers. It seems to be trying to bring me to /customers/customers/policies instead of /customers/policies.
Looks like I’m hitting this same issue: https://github.com/okta/okta-react/issues/60 - but there hasn’t been any activity on that issue in a month.

I added this to my okta config which seems to be a workaround:

  restoreOriginalUri: (_: any, originalUri: string) => {
    window.location.replace(originalUri);
  }

@jchabot86 We had a JIRA OKTA-353934 created for the GH issue https://github.com/okta/okta-react/issues/60. There will be update or improvement soon.
