The button press will bring you to the Create Authentication Provider dialog. Populate the 3 fields in Setup: Provider Name, Domain, and Provider Type. Currently only one provider type is supported: SAML 2.0

The specifics of a SAML 2.0 authentication providers are provisioned through one of two approaches: an URL that serves out SAML metadata XML, or a file that is the SAML metadata XML. Most SAML 2.0 authentication providers support one or both approaches.
