5. Finally, once the configuration is complete, download your IDP metadata file as you will need it for the Holistiplan Firm Admin Setup next.

This concludes the Okta portion of the SSO configuration. Now please log in to your Holistiplan app, where the rest of the set up will take place. 

Holistiplan Firm Admin Setup

1. Open your Holistiplan Application and navigate to Settings > Security Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the page and make sure that SSO Self Serve is enabled as seen below.
