Finally i got it to work : SPWebApplication app = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication; SPAlternateUrl u = app.AlternateUrls[Request.Url]; SPUrlZone zone = u.UrlZone; SPIisSettings settings = app.IisSettings[zone]; string components = Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.Query, UriFormat.SafeUnescaped); string AuthProviderString; if (flag == 1) AuthProviderString = "SAML_STS"; else AuthProviderString = "Staging External Users"; foreach (SPAuthenticationProvider provider in settings.ClaimsAuthenticationProviders) { if (string.Compare(provider.DisplayName, AuthProviderString, true, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture) == 0 || string.Compare(provider.ClaimProviderName, AuthProviderString, true, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture) == 0) { string url = provider.AuthenticationRedirectionUrl.ToString(); SPUtility.Redirect(url, SPRedirectFlags.Default, this.Context, components); } }
