The **Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)** is not available under the SAML tab, therefore you can find it below:

      **The Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)** : `https://cognito.blinkops.com/saml2/idpresponse`

      **Single Sign-On URL** : Please look in the Account Management Settings section within the Blink Platform to find your unique **Single Sign-On URL**.
