   • NOTE: The value that is input into this field will be used to generate our service provider metadata link as well as our service provider erentityID.

9. To build your Identity Provider Metadata XML use the above org domain and insert it into the below URL structure:
   

   https://api.tiled.co/v2/auth/device/google/{ORG DOMAIN}/metadata.xml

   • EXAMPLE if I set my Org Domain to "saltydog-admin" my resulting metadata URL would be:

     https://api.tiled.co/v2/auth/device/google/saltydog-admin/metadata.xml

   • NOTE: This URL should now resolve to Tiled's service provider metadata, with this information you will have access to the following items needed to complete your set up in Google.
     • entity ID
     • X509 Certificate
     • Assertion Consumer Service URL
