5. Once in the Single Sign-On card within Kudos® copy the following information from the Okta Metadata fields below into their corresponding Kudos® field:

• Sign on URL - Sign on URL
• Issuer - Service Provider Issuer
• Sign out URL - Logout To URL

6. Once the above fields have been filled in Kudos® select Download next to the Signing Certificate in Okta and then open the downloaded file and copy its contents into the x.509 certificate field in Kudos®.
