  13. Next, test the federation to make sure that you can login via Okta to G Suite. Copy the URL, https://dev-834381.okta .com (your URL will be different as the developer ID is different). Open that page and login with the user you have assigned to the G Suite application in OKTA. Setup the account after you have login.

  14. Once you have logged in, click on Gmail and make sure you can get redirected to Gmail. If it is successful, your federation works.
