Active SAML app routes return 404 before authentication

Hello Okta team,

I have an active SAML 2.0 application in an Integrator Free Plan org:

App: RESHORA XAA SAML Requesting App
Org: integrator-6248704.okta.com
App instance ID: exk15k93jy9sDQ1Mq698

The app is Active, the test user is assigned, and the published SSO URL and issuer match the application configuration.

However, both published routes return 404 before authentication:

SSO:
/app/integrator-6248704_reshoraxaasamlrequestingapp_1/exk15k93jy9sDQ1Mq698/sso/saml

Metadata:
/app/exk15k93jy9sDQ1Mq698/sso/saml/metadata

The AuthnRequest reaches the published SSO destination, but Okta returns “404 Page Not Found.” No authentication, MFA, assignment, or policy event appears in the System Log.

I also opened General → SAML Settings → Edit → Next → Finish without changing any settings. The routes still return the identical 404 responses.

Could Okta please verify whether the backend SAML routes for this application instance are published correctly and repair or republish them?

Thank you.
