Identity provider
Step 1 : Create and register a domain in Identity provider organization,  (Domain Management --> B's Domain)

Step 2 : Enable Identity provider. (Security Controls --> Identity Provider)

             Create a dummy certificate (self Signed) and set it as use on communication with service provider.
             Save identity provider settings.

             Download the certificate and saved in a drive.( Need to upload in service provider)
Service Provider
Step 3 : Enable single sign on in service provider (Security Controls > Single Sign-On Settings)
            Upload certificate down loaded from Identity provider.

            Put "Assertion contains the Federation ID from the User object" as "SAML Identity Type" since need to connect IP login name with Federation ID in Service Provider user.

            Put "Identity is in the NameIdentifier element of the Subject statement" SAML Identity Location since need to connect IP login name with Federation ID in Service Provider user.

           Save and note the "Salesforce Login URL".

Step 4 : Define a Connected App for service provider (Create > Apps > Connected Apps Section )
            Give basic information like App name contact email etc.

            Enable "Entity ID".

            ACS URL – Use the Salesforce Login URL from Service Provider
            Save and note the "IdP-Initiated Login URL".
            Add which profiles should be able to access this app.
Service Provider
Step 5 :  Edit Single sign on settings and paste  "IdP-Initiated Login URL" from Step 4 to "Identity Provider Login URL".
User Set up
Step 6 : Copy one of Username from Identity Provider instance to “Federation Id” field of related user in Service Provider.

Identity provider User Interface
Step 7 : Created a custom link "Login To A's Instance" on home page in B's instance .
