Description

In order to send information to the IdP during login, for example to start with registration page rather than login page, enable sending a state parameter per spec https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1.1

In the mean time, TrinPod will be looking at the query string of the redirect uri given on login, and when start=registration is seen, the user will be sent directly to registration instead of the login page
