GSuite SSO Setup for SWOOP (Workplace)

Preparation

This guide assumes you are using GSuite for access to Workplace. The process for SWOOP is similar to Workplace except we do not do directory synchronisation.

The starting point for this guides is that you are logged into the GSuite administrator  (https://admin.google.com )

You will need a ACS URL that corresponds to your SWOOP instance in the format:

https://<your name>.swoopanalytics.com/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp  

You will need an Entity ID URL:

https://<your name>.swoopanalytics.com/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp

You starting URL is:

https://<your name>.swoopanalytics.com

For conveniences you can copy/paste the URLS from here ('urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST' for ACS and 'EntityID'):

https://<your name>.swoopanalytics.com/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp?output=xhtml

(PS> Would be nice is GSuite read the meta data but it doesn't).

Replace '<your name>' with your SWOOP domain.
