Navigate to “Enterprise applications”.

In the tab “All applications”, select “New Application”.

Type your unique application name in the search box, make sure that name can not be found in the applications gallery. Click the “Create” and wait for the application to be created.

After the new application is created, navigate to the “Single sign-on” in the application screen.
