10. Back In Okta, enter the following in the Base URL field:
    
    https://app.officernd.com
11. Copy the Return URL from OfficeRnD and paste it into Sign-In redirect URLs.
    * Sign-Out redirect URIs is optional. In case you have to fill that in, please use the same URL and replace /return with /log-out.

14. Copy the Client ID and Secret from Okta and paste them into the respective fields in OfficeRnD.
    
    
15. Finally, enter the Discovery URL in OfficeRnD using your Okta Domain. The URL should follow this syntax: {{okta domain value}}/oauth2/default/.well-known/openid-configuration.
    
    Example below:
    
    https://dev-8934962.okta.com/oauth2/default/.well-known/openid-configuration
