tl;dr: [Discourse SSO setup instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setup-discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045) don’t work on latest trial site

So i’ve created a new Discourse (hosted) site (trial mode) to serve as a sandbox to test out some updates to my client application. The client is the IDP for Discourse, and I’m trying to follow along with the Official [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) Setup Instructions [Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setup-discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045)

Some of the names and UI have changed slightly since the post went up, but by and large everything is fine. Except the key configuration - `enable discourse connect` aka `enable_discourse_connect` - is not available at all.

So, after configuring everything else and attempting SSO from my IDP application, I get to the session/sso page and receive a 404 ‘Oops’ message.

Is this setting hidden in trial mode? Is there some kind of restriction on this setting?

I have this working in production, based on an older version of Discourse cloud, so I know what I’m doing a little bit at least.
