8.1 Requirements for the Connector for Google Apps

To use the connector for Google Apps, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Ensure you have meet the global requirements for SAML 2.0 connectors. For more information, see Section 4.1, Global Requirements for SAML 2.0 Connectors.

  • A Google Apps administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

  • Read through and understand the single sign-on documentation from Google. For more information, see SAML-based Federated SSO.

  • The Google domain name for your company.

  • The connector for Google Apps does not provision user account. You must create user accounts in Google Apps that match the user account in the identity store for single sign-on to function.

To configure a federated connection between Access Manager and Google Apps, you must use the federation instructions you obtain when you configure the connector. The federation instructions contain metadata specific to Access Manager, certificates, and any other information you need to properly configure the federated connection.
