Configure these values under
IDP Entity ID, Single Sign-On Url and SAML X509 Certificate fields
respectively. (Refer to the Metadata provided by Identity Provider)

Click the Test Configuration button to verify if you have configured
the plugin correctly.
On successful configuration, you will get Attribute Name and Attribute

For Adding Button on the DNN page on beside the module settings click on the
Add Item (Pencil Icon).
Add Button name and Description for item and click on Save.
You can see login button on the page after saving item. (If you are already
logged in your site, you will see a "Logout" link).

follow below steps:
Go to the
Settings >> Module Settings >> Advanced Settings and
Enable option for Display Module On All Page.
Warning: You will lose all your configuration for the module after
enabling this option. You can re-configure the module or it is better to
enable this option before configuring the module.
6. Attribute Mapping
Attributes are user details that are stored in your Identity Provider.
Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your IdP and map
them to DotNetNuke user attributes like firstname, lastname etc.
While auto registering the users in your DotNetNuke site these attributes
will automatically get mapped to your DotNetNuke user details.
Go to
DNNSAMLSSO Settings >> Advanced settings >> Attribute
Mapping.
7. Role mapping (It is Optional to fill this)
DotNetNuke uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the site owner the
ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site.
DotNetNuke has five pre-defined roles: Administrators, Subscribers,
Registered Users, Translator (en-US) and Unverified Users.
Role mapping helps you to assign specific roles to users of a certain group
in your IdP.
While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they
are mapped to.
You can even configure the
ASP.NET SAML Single Sign-On (SSO)
module with any identity provider such as
ADFS, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Bitium, centrify, G Suite,
JBoss Keycloak, Okta, OneLogin, Salesforce, AWS Cognito, OpenAM, Oracle,
PingFederate, PingOne, RSA SecureID, Shibboleth-2, Shibboleth-3, SimpleSAML,
WSO2
or even with your own custom identity provider. To check other identity
