Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google Workspace

You can enable Single Sign-On for the Pexip apps by integrating the Pexip Service with Google Workspace.

Your account manager at your local certified Pexip Partner needs to open a ticket with the Pexip Support team using the Single Sign-On (SSO) Setup Request form, and you need to supply your partner with details of your Google Workspace account.

Note that:

  • SSO for the Pexip apps is only available for Enterprise User License customers with a minimum of 10 user licenses, and is not available for trials.
  • There is no synchronization with the SSO service. It supports sign-in only; company administrators still need to initiate user invitations.

This article explains the steps you (the customer company administrator) need to perform:

  1. Log into https://admin.google.com.
  2. From the home menu select the Security option.

  3. Select Set up single sign-on (SSO).

  4. In your request to your partner for SSO setup you need to provide the following items:

    • Login URL (SSO URL in the Pexip SSO Setup Request form)

      Example: https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/idp?idpid=<id>

    • Google Workspace Identifier (Entity ID in the Pexip SSO Setup Request form)

      Example: https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2?idpid=<id>

    • The certificate downloaded from Google Workspace.

  5. After your account manager at your local certified Pexip Partner has submitted your SSO request, follow these steps on the Google Admin Interface: Set up your own custom SAML application. You will need the following information from Pexip:

    • Assertion Consumer Service: https://api.vp.vc/api/auth/v1/saml/response
    • Pexip Entity ID: https://api.vp.vc/api/auth/v1/saml
    • Service Provider Login URL: this is typically optional, Pexip does not support IDP-initiated login.
