Using Google as an identity provider

You can use Google as an identity provider to access SC//Reliant™ Platform Manager. To do this, you create a custom SAML application on the Google platform. The following is the SC//Reliant Platform Manager service provider metadata that you must use when creating your Google custom SAML application.

Create the Google custom SAML app

The Google documentation provides the steps for creating a custom SAML app on their platform. For more information, see SAML configuration for Google Workspace in the Google Cloud documentation.

1. Access the Google Admin Portal at https://admin.google.com.
2. From the Google Admin Portal, choose Apps, Web and mobile apps.
3. From the Web and mobile apps page, use the Add app drop-down menu and choose Add custom SAML app.
4. From the Add custom SAML app workflow, do the following.
   1. On the App details page, for App name specify a name for the application and then choose Continue. We suggest using a name like SC//Reliant Platform Manager.
   2. On the Google Identity Provider details page, use option 1 to download the Google IdP metadata. The file that is downloaded should be provided to your Scale Computing Account Manager. This metadata is then associated with your SC//Reliant Platform Manager tenant by our engineering team.
   3. On the Service provider details page, specify the following SC//Reliant Platform Manager details.
      1. For ACS URL, specify https://platform.reliant.io/saml/consume.
      2. For Entity ID, specify https://platform.reliant.io.
      3. For Start URL, leave that field blank.
      4. For Name ID format, choose EMAIL.
      5. For Name ID, choose Primary email.
   4. On the Attribute mapping page, leave the default settings and choose Finish.

Provide the Google Identity Provider metadata

Once you have your Google Cloud custom SAML app created, download and provide Google's IdP metadata to your Scale Computing Account Manager. The SC//Reliant Engineering team will add the metadata to your SC//Reliant Platform Manager tenant and then you'll be able to use Google's authentication to access SC//Reliant Platform Manager.
