Depends on the specific requirements you're talking about, SSO makes that sort of thinig ambiguous. Assuming the login process actually happens visually, a "splash" page would just be a substitute for the login view that shows something first, and then auto-forwards/redirects to resume the flow with the current login view. Easy. But invisible during SSO.

If you mean every single time, it depends what the page needs to know to display. If it's relatively static content, there's an interceptor point called the "inbound" hook that is used to run various message processing and security checks. If you override that by supplementing the existing inbound flow with an additional custom flow that just displays a view, that would work, but requires an investment in webflow knowledge.

It would get damn annoying to have it show during SSO though, so I suspect you mean the former case.
