How do I set up Single Sign-on with Google Suite?

Setting up SSO with Google Suite on your RSVPify workspace.

Updated today

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to securely authenticate with multiple applications and websites by using just one set of credentials.

This article walks you through setting up an SSO with Google Suite.

Step 1: Navigate to Workspace settings and select the ‘SSO’ tab

Step 2: Click on the 'Add SSO Configuration' button

This will open the SSO configuration drawer. Here you will need to:

  1. Enter the domain that you will be using for SSO. After entering the domain, click the ‘Generate TXT record’ button. This will display the verification key that will be used to verify the ownership of the entered domain.
    ​


    ​

  2. To verify the ownership of the provided domain, you will have to add the verification key as a TXT record on your domain's DNS. Once the key is added, click on the ‘Verify domain’ button to complete the verification process.

Step 3: SSO Configuration from your Google Admin Console

  1. In your Google Admin Console, select Apps and then click on 'Web and mobile apps' option
    ​


    ​

  2. Expand the ‘Add app’ dropdown and select the ‘Add custom SAML app’ option
    ​


    ​

  3. This will open the flow for adding the SAML configuration:

    1. Enter the app details:

      Provide the name of the app that will be used (e.g. RSVPify SSO) and proceed to the next step.
      ​


      ​

    2. Copy the following fields into the RSVPify SSO configuration drawer

      SSO Url -> SAML 2.0 Endpoint (HTTP) or SSO URL

      Entity ID -> Entity ID or Issuer URL

      Certificate -> Certificate
      ​


      ​

    3. Copy the following fields from RSVPify into the new Google SAML application.

      Identifier / Entity ID -> Entity ID

      Reply URL -> ACS URL
      ​


      ​

    4. When this is done, save the SSO configuration form on RSVPify. If everything is done correctly SSO configuration should be saved and in ‘Configured’ state.
      ​

    Step 4: Set up the Primary Email and First name mappings within Google Admin

    In this step, go to the ‘Add Mapping’ within the 'Attributes mapping' tab.
    ​


    1. From Google Directory attributes, select the ‘Basic Information > Primary email’ option and for App attributes write ‘email’. This will result in ‘Primary email → email’ mapping

    2. After adding mapping, click on the 'Finish' button. You now have the fully set up SSO login flow for RSVPify using Google Suite.
    ​

    From this moment, all workspace members will have to use the SSO login flow and will not be able to log in using their email address and password.
