Prerequisite

• Ensure you have Google Workspace Admin Console access to proceed with the setup.

How to Create a Custom SAML App for Google SSO

1. Access Google Admin Console: Log in to the Google Admin Console using an administrator account.

2. Navigate to Apps: From the Admin Console dashboard, go to Apps > Web and mobile apps.

3. Add a New App:

   • Click the Add App button.

   • Select Add custom SAML app from the dropdown menu.

Follow the onscreen wizard to continue setup:

• Name Your App:

  • Provide a name for your app in the App Name field.

  • Optionally, upload a logo for the app to make it easily recognizable.

• Download the IdP Metadata:

  • On the Google IdP Information page, download the metadata file. You will need to provide us this file for SSO integration

• Configure SAML Settings:

  • On the Service Provider Details page, provide the ACS URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) as https://auth.joist.ai/saml2/idpresponseand the Entity ID as urn:amazon:cognito:sp:us-east-1_Jvc36Bm58

  • The Name ID format (UNSPECIFIED) and Name ID (Primary Email) fields are set to their default values.

• Define Attributes:

  • On the Attribute Mapping page, map Google Directory attribute Primary email to the corresponding attribute emailaddress expected by Kantiv.

Enable the App for Users:

• Once the app is configured, you can enable it for specific Organizational Units (OUs) or for all users from the Application Details page

You will need to provide us with the metadata file that was previously downloaded along with your organization’s subdomain in order for us to enable this SSO integration.
