Create SAML application in Google Workspace

Use this procedure to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) between your DigiCert® account and Google Workspace using SAML 2.0.

You’ll need to complete setup in both DigiCert and Google Workspace, and switch between the two tabs to exchange URLs and metadata.

Once completed, users in your account will be able to sign in to DigiCert from their Google Workspace dashboard or via the DigiCert sign in page with their Google Workspace credentials.
