Setting up and using Single Sign-On with Google Apps

Rather than require users to remember both a Syncplicity and Google username and password, Single Sign-On allows users to use a single Google username and password to access their user account in both locations.

 

Enable Single Sign-On with Google Apps

  1. Open the Business Edition product listing within Google Marketplace: https://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=393+9547105767200082343

 

  1. Click Add It Now and follow the prompts to install and link Google Apps to your Business Edition account. You will need an administrative login for both Google Apps and your company account to continue.

 

Associate Google Apps login with an existing Syncplicity Account

Once a Google Apps domain has been enabled for Single Sign-On with Business Edition, users can login by using just their Google Apps credentials.

To access the corresponding Syncplicity user account from Google Apps:

 

  1. Sign into your Google Apps account
  2. In the top left corner of your Google Apps account, click More -> Syncplicity
  3. If your Business Edition user account has the same e-mail address as the Google Apps login, Syncplicity will prompt you to review your account information for accuracy, then click Associate
  4. If your Business Edition user account has a different e-mail address from the Google Apps login and no e-mail address corresponds to the Google Apps login, Syncplicity will prompt you to enter in your existing Syncplicity user account credentials before prompting you to review your account information for accuracy and to click Associate.

 

After performing the first open ID login, users can access the Syncplicity website through the Syncplicity widget under the More menu in Google Apps at any time to gain instant access. In addition, users can use their Google credentials to login directly at my.syncplicity.com.
