Google SSO

​

Prepare the SSO form in Minimus

1. Go to Manage > Users & Groups (direct link)
2. Click Configure SSO at the top of the page to open the Minimus SSO form.
   Keep this form open and available in another browser tab as you configure the SAML app in Azure.
3. The form has 4 parts:
   1. Configure Minimus as a custom app in your identity provider - You will copy these parameters from Minimus to Google in the next steps.
      1. SP Entity ID
      2. Reply URL (Callback / ACS URL)
      3. Relay State (optional) - If you leave the Relay State blank, users will only be able to login with SSO from the Minimus homepage.
   2. Connect Minimus to your identity provider - You will fetch these parameters from your Google custom app and save them to the Minimus form.
      1. Login SSO URL
      2. IdP Entity ID
      3. Certificate
   3. SAML Attribute Mapping - Google uses the standard AD claim formats.
      1. Email - input email (in lowercase).
      2. Full name - input firstName (Note the camel case).
   4. Group Mapping is optional and can be enabled if you plan to configure user groups. See the instructions in user groups.
