Platform9 supports single sign-on (SSO) with Google G Suite (G Suite).
To configure G Suite integration, you must have a G Suite Apps administrator account.
As a G Suite administrator, you can enable SSO through G Suite for other users in the organization. This enables the users to sign in to Platform9 Managed OpenStack, by using their G Suite credentials.
Follow the steps given below to integrate Google with Platform9 for SSO.
Login to G Suite as the Apps administrator and follow the first few steps given in Google: Set up your own custom SAML application to set up your SAML custom app.
From the "SAML Apps" page under the admin section, click the yellow plus sign in the bottom right-hand corner to begin adding a new SAML application, then click Setup my own custom SAML App.

Download the IdP metadata XML file and email this to support@platform9.com.

Then, click Next.
Specify the name and description of the custom app, and optionally upload a logo for the custom app.

Click Next.
Specify the ACS, Entity ID, and Start URLs as follows.
ACS URL: https:///Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST
Entity ID: https:///keystone
Start URL: https://
Select the Signed Response check box.
Set the Name ID Format to "EMAIL".

Configure the Platform9-required the FirstName, LastName, and Email attribute mappings. Click Add New Mapping to add an attribute mapping.

Click Finish to complete the SAML application setup.
After receiving a confirmation email that the Platform9 Support team has received your IdP metadata & enabled SSO on your environment, login to Platform9 Clarity UI as an administrator. Now, follow the steps 2 through 5 given in the Integrating Single Sign-On (SSO) Support with Platform9 Managed OpenStack article.
Once this is done, integration of G Suite with Platform9 for SSO is complete.
