You must recycle the app pool on your server immediately after you enable the identity provider. If Setup Admin is set to Yes on your User record, you will have a Restart Auth App button on your User Profile. Click the Restart Auth App button to make the external authentication option available.
System Information
You may need to provide the following values if required by your identity provider.
