27.9.3 Configuring the Advanced Authentication Event

  1. Open the Advanced Authentication Administration portal.

  2. Click Events > New Event to add a new event with the following options:

    1. Name: Google

    2. Event Type: SAML2

    3. Chains: Select the required chains.

    4. SP SAML 2.0 metadata: Paste the Service Provider metadata.

      Sample metadata is as follows:

      <EntityDescriptor entityID="google.com" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"> <SPSSODescriptor protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol"> <NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</NameIDFormat> <AssertionConsumerService index="1" Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location="https://www.google.com/a/mycompany.com" /> </SPSSODescriptor> </EntityDescriptor>

      Replace mycompany.com in the Location URL to your primary domain from the Domains settings in Google.

      NOTE:It is not recommended to use the sample metadata in the production environment.

      NOTE:You must use the Service Provider metadata when one domain exists in the G Suite. If you have more than one domain in G Suite, then every Service Provider metadata for each domain must have google.com as an entityID replaced with google.com/mycompany.com, where mycompany.com is your domain name.

    5. Select Send E-Mail as NameID (suitable for G-Suite) from the NameID formatting options. This is applicable for the G-Suite.

    6. Click Save.
