1. SAML SSO with GCP in Autobahn Fit

Google's implementation of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows the secure exchange of user authentication and authorization data between different systems. This guide will help you generate the necessary credentials within your Google Workspace account to enable Autobahn Fit's single sign-on (SSO).

2. Prerequisites for SAML with GCP

To enable SAML SSO with Google Workspace in Autobahn Fit, you need to provide:

  • Google SAML IDP metadata

  • Google SAML IDP Entity ID

The information above can be generated by configuring Google Workspace as the identity provider (IDP). To configure Google Workspace as your IDP, you need to ensure:

  • Your Google Workspace account is a business account and has administrative privileges in Google Workspace.

  • You need to have a Google Cloud account with permission to create new Google Cloud Projects. 

  • You need to have an Admin with Billing permissions to configure an IDP.

Please ask our Customer Success team for the Autobahn Fit Entity ID and ACS URL, you will need this to configure Google Workspace as your IDP.

3. Configure Google Workspace as Identity Provider (IDP)

1 - Navigate to the Google Admin Portal and select Apps.

2 - Click on Web and mobile apps -> Add app -> Add custom SAML app from the drop-down Add App menu.

 

3 - Enter the New Name of App and upload an App icon. Then click Continue.
