In the SSO/SAML Details pop-up screen that appears, copy the values of Login URL and Logout URL, and click Download SSO certificate and save the certificate file (PEM file). We will need these values and file in later steps.

Syncplicity (Service Provider) configuration steps

In Logout page URL, paste the Logout URL value you had saved in Step 5 of Prerequisite.
In Identity Provider Certificate, click Choose file and upload the PEM file that you saved in Step 5 of Prerequisite.
Select Enable Silent Onboarding - auto-activate users and suppress welcome email (not applicable to self-signup) if you want to enable just in time provisioning of users.
Click Save changes.

ADSelfService Plus (Identity Provider) configuration steps

Now, switch to ADSelfService Plus’ Syncplicity configuration page.
In the Domain Name field, enter the domain name of your email address. For example, if you use johndoe@thinktodaytech.com to log in to Syncplicity, then thinktodaytech.com is the domain name.
Enter the Custom domain you had saved in Step 4 of Syncplicity configuration.
Enter a Description for the connection.
In the Available Policies field, select the policies for which you wish to enable single sign-on.

Click Save.
