On the Configure SAML page, specify the ACS URL by filling in the URL of the Orchestrator instance plus the suffix identity/Saml2/Acs. For instance: https://orchestratorURL/identity/Saml2/Acs. Keep in mind that the ACS is case sensitive.
Scroll down the Configure SAML page, and set the Entity ID to https://orchestratorURL.
On the same page, select HTTP Redirect as your SLO binding.
In the Assertion Validity Duration field, enter the desired validity period in seconds, and press Next.
On the Map Attributes page, map the following attribute: Email Address = http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/emailaddress
Click Save and open the app from the Connections tab.
In the newly opened window, copy the Single SignOn URL.
