In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps needed to connect your Google Workspace account with Archie for single sign-on (SSO) integration. This integration will allow your employees to log in Archie using their current account. Before beginning, ensure you have admin access to both your Google and Archie accounts.
Step 1: Configure SAML Settings in Google Workspace
Log into your Google Workspace account and go to Apps/Web and mobile apps
Click on Add App and then on Add Custom SAML app
Copy the values for SSO URL, EntityID, and Certificate into a notepad, we will be using these values later in Archie.
Go to the Service Provider Details and make sure that you have the following values:
Continue to the Attribute mapping section and make sure that you have the following values:
Once ready, click Finish.
Step 2: Complete Configuration in Archie
In Archie, go to "Settings > Integrations > App Marketplace" , locate the SSO SAML integration, and click View integration.
Click Connect identity provider
Fill the information needed
Provider: Select Google
Provider name: Set the name that you would like to use to identify this integration
Note: It's best to leave the Provider Name blank unless you have multiple SSO clients, like two Google accounts for different user groups, where naming helps distinguish them.
SSO URL: Enter your Login URL obtained in Step 1.3 (e.g.,
https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/idp?idpid=xxxxxxxxx
)Entity ID: Enter the Google Entity ID obtained in Step 1.3 (e.g.,
https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2?idpid=
xxxxxxxxx)Copy/paste certificate: Add the SAML certificate copied in Step 1.3.
Note:
Copy paste the certificate itself and not a URL or download link
When pasting the certificate, ensure no spaces or line breaks were added, as copying from Notepad can introduce breaks that cause issues—double-check before pasting
Once ready, click Confirm.
Step 3: Confirm your Connection in Google
Log into your Google Workspace account and go to Apps/Web and mobile apps
In this view, you will have the option to work with specific groups if desired
You’re All Set!
