Note for ADFS users:
If you are using ADFS/SAML and would like to bypass the Clever login screen, you can specify an authorization method which will bypass the Clever splash altogether. Simply add "&specify_auth=saml" to the instant login links.
(You’ll need to specify your own District ID by using the instant login link from above.) As long as there's an active directory session in the browser, we'll default to that and log the user directly into CL. If the user clicks on the link while they aren't logged into Active Directory, they'll be brought to the screen above.
