Task: custom IDP: handle direct URL navigation

[enrico-kaack-comp]

Understand the Task

Description
When we are accessing the MCP by clicking through the UI, we can select the IDP we want to use.
Now it is possible to reach the MCP view site directly via URL:

• by bookmark
• by a shared link from a collegue
• by using back navigation

Several Options how we can handle this:

1. use the idp-name as part of the URL (either in path or parameter)
2. Always ask the user by showing a dialog if we navigate to the MCP url on any other way than the connect button in the UI
3. using the last-used idp (stored either in local storage or BFF session) (see also Task: Custom IdP: Connect button should default to the last used selection #232).
4. Combine 1 and 2: put it in the URL and if it is missing, show a selection dialog. Maybe also include 3 to preselect the last used idp in the selection list and the user would always have to click next.
