Description
Expected Behavior
The session must be created during IdP initiated SSO.
Current Behavior
During IdP initiated SSO no session is created and because of this even after successful authorization, Spring Security initializes SP initiated SSO.
Context
With SP initiated SSO, a session is created in the HttpSessionSaml2AuthenticationRequestRepository#saveAuthenticationRequest method, which creates a cookie and saves all authorization data after successful authorization.

Research direction
Start by tracing IdP-initiated SSO alongside HttpSessionSaml2AuthenticationRequestRepository#saveAuthenticationRequest, which the issue identifies as the SP-initiated session path. Determine where the IdP-initiated flow should create its session and verify that successful authorization no longer initializes SP-initiated SSO.
