Step 3) Copy the Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL and the X-509 Certificate from this screen


Step 4) Go to Gorilla Expense web application and login as an admin. If you do not have admin login credentials it would typically mean that you are not currently a customer of Gorilla Expense. You can contact support@gorillaexpense.com for a free trial so that we could provision an application instance for you and provide you with an admin username and password.


Step 5) Once logged in as Admin, go to Settings -> SAML Configuration to update the details from Step 3. Select Authentication Type as Okta, copy IDP SSO URL from step 3 and certificate from Step 3 and paste in the corresponding fields shown below. IDP SSO logout URL will have the same host as IDP SSO URL, but after the host please add “/login/signout” (refer to screen shot below)
