SSO / SAML - GSuite from Google Cloud

G Suite SAML custom application login using Google as IdP.

After logging into your G Suite account, from the Admin Console navigate to the Apps menu and select SAML apps. Using the bottom right + button add a new SAML application.

In the Enable SSO for SAML Application pop-up window click SETUP MY OWN CUSTOM APP to begin the SocialTalent SSO Integration.

At this point, you should open the SocialTalent platform in a separate tab and work with the two web pages simultaneously.

Here's a guide to what information from G Suite goes into the SocialTalent Admin Settings → Single Sign-On:

Within the Google, IdP Information section (Step 2 of 5), copy over Entity ID from G Suite into the SAML Metadata field on SocialTalent (see Overview section above) Click the NEXT button.

In the next step (Step 3 of 5), provide SocialTalent as the Application Name. As an option, you can Upload the logo which will be visible to other users. Our logo and favicon are uploaded as a part of this tutorial. Please download → GSuite tile.

Here's a guide of what information from SocialTalent goes into the G Suite Service Provider Details fields (Step 4 of 5):
