The Entitity ID/ Issuer ID will match the Entity ID you specified in the DualShield Service Provider.

There are two parts for specifying the Sign-In and Log-Out Page URLs

The first part is that that you will use the SingleSignOnService and SingleLogoutService URLs you copied from the DualShield SSO Server Metadata (see previous section) respectively.
