This article details both how to configure G Suite for authentication and how to configure the Siemplify platform to support this.
To configure G Suite for SSO:
- Navigate to the Google Admin Portal.
- Select Apps.
- Select SAML apps.
- Click on Enable SSO for a SAML application.
- In the Enable SSO for a SAML application screen, click on Setup my own Custom App.
- In the Google IdP Information screen, do the following:
- Copy the Entity ID value to a text file for future use.
- Download the IDP metadata for future use.
- Click Next.
- In the basic information for your Custom App screen, enter your Application Name (user defined) and click Next.
- In the Service Provider Details screen, enter the following information:
- ACS URL: https://[your_siemplify_server]:443/Saml2/Acs
- Entity ID: https://[your_siemplify_server]:443/Saml2
- Click Next.
- In the Attribute Mapping screen, click Finish.
To configure SAML on the Siemplify server:
- Create the following folder structure:
C:\Siemplify_Server\ExternalIDP - Locate the IDP Metadata that you downloaded in the previous procedure and rename it to ExtendedEntityDescriptor.xml. Place it in the ExternalIDP folder.
- Create a JSON file named ProviderDetails.JSON with the following entry (from release 5.1, use port 443 instead):
{
"EntityId": "<EntityID from step 6a>",
"IdentityProvider": "Gsuite",
"LocalEntityId": " https://<your_siemplify_server>:8443/Saml2",
"ServerAddress": " https://<your_siemplify_server>",
"LdapConnection": ""
}
- Restart Siemplify Service.
- Log in using G Suite.
