Hello,

Does anyone know why, in the developer account I do not have the Sign on methods and SAML setup instructions under the Sign On tab?

These options are available for the free trial account but not in the developer account. And, if they are not available, where I will find the Identity provider metadata URL? The attached image shows the setting in the free trial account version. I don’t have it in the developer account.

Hi @stevesporea,

The developer account applications page only has options to create OIDC clients.  
In order to create SAML based clients, you’ll have to switch to the “Classic View” by clicking on the “Developer Console” dropdown at the top of your org page.
