Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Setup NextCloud with JumpCloud User SAML
  2. Login to JumpCloud
  3. Click on NextCloud icon to launch Nextcloud
Expected behaviour

It should go to NextCloud and login to the user JumpCloud is specifying.

Actual behaviour

It goes to https://[domainname]/apps/user_saml/saml/acs
Instead of reidrecting to NextCloud and showing me the files, it just sits at the page mentioned with a response of "null".
It should redirect to the files page, and it does when I initiate the login from NextCloud->JumpCloud, but not JumpCloud->NextCloud

Research direction

Start by reproducing the JumpCloud-to-Nextcloud login flow described in the issue and inspect the response from /apps/user_saml/saml/acs. Compare it with the Nextcloud-to-JumpCloud flow that succeeds; done means the direct launch redirects to Nextcloud and displays the user's files instead of returning "null".
