  7. Click on the first tab Set Up Identity Provider. In this tab, you’ll find the unique Workspace values you’ll need to set up your IdP.
    • EntityID: Your IdP may refer to this value as Audience or SP Entity ID.
    • ACS URL: Your IdP may refer to this value also as SSO URL, Reply URL, or Consumer URL.
