Overview

This guide describes a step-by-step process to integrate Google Workspace (GW) SSO with Grip Security, enabling users to authenticate securely.

Here, we will walk through the setup of a new SAML application in GW, including the necessary configurations.

The Integration consists of two main steps:

  • Create a New SAML Application in GW

  • Configure SAML in the Grip Portal

Integration Benefits

Integrating GW SSO with Grip Security offers several benefits, including:

• Simplified access for users via Single Sign-On (SSO).

• Streamlined management of user authentication and provisioning.

Prerequisites

Access to the Google Workspace (GW) administration panel.

Create a New SAML Application in Google Workspace

To create the SAML in GW, you will first need to connect to Grip’s Admin panel and copy the “Entity ID”(1), the “Assertion Consumer Service” (ACS) URL” (2), and the “SAML Response Attribute” (3) from “Connect to Google Workspace SSO” window.

To this window, you will need to upload the “IdP Metadata” file you downloaded from GW during the SAML creation process (4).

  • In the GW, go to “Web and mobile apps >> Add App >> Add custom SAML app.”

  • In “App Details”, name the SAML and click “Continue.”

  • Download the IdP “METADATA” and upload the file to the Grip “Connect” window (# 4 in the first step)

  • Click “Continue” in Google Workspace

  • Enter the values in the “ACS URL & Entity ID” fields taken from Grip “Connect to Google Workspace SSO” window (#1+ 2)

  • Click “Continue.”

  • In the “Attributes” section, click on “ADD MAPPING.”

  • In the “Basic Information” field, select “Primary email”.

  • In the “App attributes,” paste the “SAML Response Attributes” taken from Grip (#3).

  • Click “Finish.”

  • Go to Grip and click “Connect”.

  • Once the SSO is connected a green checkbox is displayed.
