SSO with Google – Setup Guide

Properly configured single sign-on (SSO) can be a vital element of your cyber and network security toolset. You can reduce your company's attack surfaces by slashing the services your team has to log in to and the number of credentials they handle.

Set up SSO in SEON to make your fraud-fighting experience seamless and secure.

Google is one of the worlds leading cloud technology and business productivity providers. Companies worldwide trust Google to accelerate their operations with a vast array of cloud-computing tools and connected security features. As SEON supports SAML authentication setting up SSO using Google Identity is a breeze.

You'll need super administrator access to your Google admin console and admin access to your SEON account. Visit the Settings page in SEON and double-check that you can access the SSO settings on the Authentication tab before continuing. Visit this guide from Google to check if you have the correct permissions.

Note: You'll find all the details you need to set up SSO using Google on our Integration SSO page or the Authentication tab of your Settings page in SEON.

2. Open the Authentication tab.

3. Click the toggle next to Turn on SSO Login.

4. Add a name to the Company field.

Warning: Use your company name or a variant without special characters and spaces for the best results, as the name will be used in URLs later.

7. Click Add App.

8. Select Add custom SAML app.

9. Enter the name of the custom app (SEON), and feel free to add our logo.
