What is Single Sign-On (SSO)
Learn what Single Sign-On is.
In the Google Admin console at https://admin.google.com, click the Security icon.
Select Set up single sign-on (SSO) with a third party IdP.
Click ADD SSO PROFILE.
To start setting up SSO, check the Set up SSO with third-party identity provider box. Then fill in the required information below.
Sign-in page URL: users get redirected to this page to sign in through the SSO into their Google account.
Sign-out page URL: the page where users are redirected when their sign-in is complete.
You need to get these details from your third-party SSO provider.
Verification certificate: Upload a verification certificate received from the SSO provider here. The certificate must be a X.509-formatted certificate with an embedded public key.
Check the Use a domain-specific issuer box to enable a domain-specific issuer. If you enable this, Google sends an issuer specific to your domain, google.com/a/yourdomain.com, where yourdomain.com is replaced with your actual domain name. If you don’t check the box to enable a domain-specific issuer when you set up SSO, Google sends the standard issuer, google.com, in the SAML request.
The Network masks setting allows you to specify any network IP addresses where users are allowed to sign in. Users trying to sign in from any IPs not listed here will not be able to access their accounts.
Click SAVE. It may take some time to start working.
If you add a URL (website address) in the Change password URL field, all users (excluding Super Admins) who try to change their password at https://myaccount.google.com/ will get redirected to your URL. This setting applies even if you do not enable SSO.
