Azure B2C Custom Policy: How to show static html page only?

Question

I am modifying an existing custom policy's behavior and have not yet been able to find guidance on what I a trying to do.

Backgound

I have a custom signup/signin policy with a terms & conditions page. The general workflow is:

• Sign up / Sign in
• Terms & conditions acceptance
• Send the claims back to the web application, which signs the user in ## Goal

I have been asked to modify the policy so that rather than redirecting back to the web application on sign in, it displays a custom HTML "pending verification page".

What I've done

• Created and deployed the custom HTML content.
• Created a ContentDefinition that points to that HTML page: xml
  <ContentDefinition Id="api.selfasserted.pendingverification">
  <LoadUri>[redacted]/pending-verification.html</LoadUri>
  <RecoveryUri>~/common/default_page_error.html</RecoveryUri>
  <DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:contract:selfasserted:1.2.0</DataUri>
  <Metadata>
  <Item Key="DisplayName">Pending Verification</Item>
  </Metadata>
  </ContentDefinition>
• Created a TechnicalProfile that uses that content definition: xml
  <TechnicalProfile Id="SelfAsserted-PendingVerification">
  <DisplayName>Pending Verification</DisplayName>
  <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.SelfAssertedAttributeProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
  <Metadata>
  <Item Key="ContentDefinitionReferenceId">api.selfasserted.pendingverification</Item>
  </Metadata>
  <IncludeInSso>false</IncludeInSso>
  </TechnicalProfile>
• Added an OrchestrationStep that references the TechnicalProfile: xml
  <OrchestrationStep Order="6" Type="ClaimsExchange">
  <ClaimsExchanges>
  <ClaimsExchange Id="ShowPendingVerificationPage" TechnicalProfileReferenceId="SelfAsserted-PendingVerification" />
  </ClaimsExchanges>
  </OrchestrationStep>
• Doublechecked that the order of the steps is what I'd expect and no steps are sharing the same order number in the orchestration. ## Challenge

Despite these steps, the pending verification page seems to be skipped each time, and the next step (which returns the claims) appears to be executed.

Question

• Is my understanding of how to create and refer to a static page above correct?
• Is a technical profile with no input or output claims skipped by default?
• What is the correct way to show a static HTML file in this manner without continuing on to the next step in the orchestration?

Thanks @Sean Killeen and as mentioned Claim that has a UserInputType of Readonly can able to make static page is working. Please let us know if this works for you.
