    Article Summary

    Google

    Follow these steps to configure Google social authentication:

    1. Navigate to the Google Developers' site and, if necessary, create an account.
      Note: This account needs to have the Google Super Admin Role within Google. This role is added in the Google Admin Console.
    2. Follow the Google API directions to Create a project. This will be a web application.
    3. Once the app is created, navigate to the Client ID for the Web Application page to capture the Client ID and Client Secret. Also, note the Authorized Redirect URIs. This must be entered as https://[Host Name]/idp/socialCallback?n=googleplus.
    4. Click the checkbox next to Enable Google. Copy and paste the Client ID and the Client Secret into Configuration > Authentication Policies > [Authentication Policy] > Authentication Methods > Social. Click the checkbox next to Enabled to enable the policy.
    5. Ensure the LDAP filter and other Criteria are set and that the policy has an accurate name and is Enabled on the General tab. Click Save.
    6. When the user logs in, they will be prompted to log in with their Google credentials.
    7. The user will be taken to Google, where they will enter their credentials. If successful, they will be returned back to RapidIdentity to finish the login process.
