# Setup SSO with Okta
Follow these steps in your Okta account:
1. Create a new App Integration in Okta and choose the SAML2 option\
\
2. Give it a name, and when asked for `Single sign-on URL` paste Birdie's Service Provider ACS, when asked for the`Audience URI (SP Entity ID)` paste Birdie's Service Provider EntityID, as illustrated in the following screenshot. Let everything else as-is with Okta defaults… \
\
3. Now your app is created on Okta side, go back Enable SAML2 into your Birdie settings, that will open a form where you must enter a few informations: at first you can label this connection as you wish, call it "Okta" for example, and add your domain name (separated with commas if you get some). \
\
You will then need to fill-in 3 fields in Birdie with infos coming from your Okta app: \
1\. the field Entity ID (called *"Issuer"* in Okta) \
2\. the field Single SignOn URL (called *"Sign on URL"* in Okta)\
3\. the field X.509 certificate: to do this, download your Okta Signin Certificate (do not click on Copy, but download the file), open this file in a text editor, and copy the whole text content of your certificate into Birdie's X.509 certificate field. \
Once you get those 3 informations in Birdie, click the Enable SAML button. \
\
4. If there was no error, you should be able to connect to Birdie with your SSO.
