How to configure single sign-on for Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)

ADSelfService Plus supports Active Directory (AD)-based single sign-on (SSO) for Google Workspace and any other SAML-enabled application. Upon enabling Google Workspace SSO in ADSelfService Plus, all users have to do is simply log in to their Windows machines using their AD domain credentials. Once logged in, users can securely sign-in to Google Workspace in one click without having to enter their username and password again.

Benefits of enterprise SSO

 

Supports custom SAML applications

Any application that supports SAML 2.0 protocol for authentication can be configured for SSO with ADSelfService Plus.

 

One-click logout

All SAML-based applications connected to ADSelfService Plus are points of logout. When users initiate a logout from the service provider, they are also logged out from ADSelfService Plus, and vice versa.

 

Easy to deploy and administer

SSO can be rolled out for some or all users based on their domain, OU, or group membership.

ADSelfService Plus' Google Workspace capabilities

ADSelfService Plus supports both Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP)-initiated SSO for Google Workspace.

IdP-initiated SSO for Google Workspace: Users need to log in to the ADSelfService Plus self-service portal first, and then click on the Google Workspace icon on the Applications dashboard to access Google Workspace and its services.

SP-initiated SSO for Google Workspace: Users can access their Google Workspace domain via a URL or bookmark. They will automatically be redirected to the ADSelfService Plus portal for login. Once they've signed on, they'll be automatically redirected and logged in to the Google Workspace portal and services.

Secure SSO for CRM, education, IT management apps, and more.

  6. If the domains are not auto-discovered, then enter the domain controller name in the field provided, and click Add.
