Configure federation between Google Workspace and Azure AD
This article describes the steps required to configure Google Workspace as an identity provider (IdP) for Azure AD.
Once configured, users will be able to sign in to Azure AD with their Google Workspace credentials.
Prerequisites
To configure Google Workspace as an IdP for Azure AD, the following prerequisites must be met:
- An Azure AD tenant, with one or multiple custom DNS domains (that is, domains that aren't in the format *.onmicrosoft.com)
- If the federated domain hasn't yet been added to Azure AD, you must have access to the DNS domain to create a DNS record. This is required to verify the ownership of the DNS namespace
- Learn how to Add your custom domain name using the Azure Active Directory portal
- Access to Azure AD with an account with the Global Administrator role
- Access to Google Workspace with an account with super admin privileges
To test federation, the following prerequisites must be met:
- A Google Workspace environment, with users already created
Important
Users require an email address defined in Google Workspace, which is used to match the users in Azure AD. For more information about identity matching, see Identity matching in Azure AD.
- Individual Azure AD accounts already created: each Google Workspace user will require a matching account defined in Azure AD. These accounts are commonly created through automated solutions, for example:
- School Data Sync (SDS)
- Azure AD Connect sync for environment with on-premises AD DS
- PowerShell scripts that call the Microsoft Graph API
- Provisioning tools offered by the IdP - this capability is offered by Google Workspace through auto-provisioning
Configure Google Workspace as an IdP for Azure AD
-
Sign in to the Google Workspace Admin Console with an account with super admin privileges
-
Select Apps > Web and mobile apps
-
Select Add app > Search for apps and search for microsoft
-
In the search results page, hover over the Microsoft Office 365 - Web (SAML) app and select Select :::image type="content" source="images/google/google-admin-search-app.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing Google Workspace and the search button for Microsoft Office 365 SAML app.":::
-
On the Google Identity Provider details page, select Download Metadata and take note of the location where the IdP metadata - GoogleIDPMetadata.xml - file is saved, as it will be used to setup Azure AD later
-
On the Service provider detail*s page
- Select the option Signed response
- Verify that the Name ID format is set to PERSISTENT
- Depending on how the Azure AD users have been provisioned in Azure AD, you may need to adjust the Name ID mapping.
If using Google auto-provisioning, select Basic Information > Primary email - Select Continue
-
On the Attribute mapping page, map the Google attributes to the Azure AD attributes
Google Directory attributes Azure AD attributes Basic Information: Primary Email App attributes: IDPEmail Important
You must ensure that your the Azure AD user accounts email match those in your Google Workspace.
-
Select Finish
Now that the app is configured, you must enable it for the users in Google Workspace:
- Sign in to the Google Workspace Admin Console with an account with super admin privileges
- Select Apps > Web and mobile apps
- Select Microsoft Office 365
- Select User access
- Select ON for everyone > Save
Configure Azure AD as a Service Provider (SP) for Google Workspace
The configuration of Azure AD consists of changing the authentication method for the custom DNS domains. This configuration can be done using PowerShell.
Using the IdP metadata XML file downloaded from Google Workspace, modify the $DomainName variable of the following script to match your environment, and then run it in a PowerShell session. When prompted to authenticate to Azure AD, use the credentials of an account with the Global Administrator role.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph
$domainId = "<your domain name>"
$xml = [Xml](Get-Content GoogleIDPMetadata.xml)
$cert = -join $xml.EntityDescriptor.IDPSSODescriptor.KeyDescriptor.KeyInfo.X509Data.X509Certificate.Split()
$issuerUri = $xml.EntityDescriptor.entityID
$signinUri = $xml.EntityDescriptor.IDPSSODescriptor.SingleSignOnService | ? { $_.Binding.Contains('Redirect') } | % { $_.Location }
$signoutUri = "https://accounts.google.com/logout"
$displayName = "Google Workspace Identity"
Connect-MGGraph -Scopes "Domain.ReadWrite.All", "Directory.AccessAsUser.All"
$domainAuthParams = @{
DomainId = $domainId
IssuerUri = $issuerUri
DisplayName = $displayName
ActiveSignInUri = $signinUri
PassiveSignInUri = $signinUri
SignOutUri = $signoutUri
SigningCertificate = $cert
PreferredAuthenticationProtocol = "saml"
federatedIdpMfaBehavior = "acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp"
}
New-MgDomainFederationConfiguration @domainAuthParams
To verify that the configuration is correct, you can use the following PowerShell command:
Get-MgDomainFederationConfiguration -DomainId $domainId |fl
ActiveSignInUri : https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/idp?idpid=<GUID>
DisplayName : Google Workspace Identity
FederatedIdpMfaBehavior : acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp
Id : 3f600dce-ab37-4798-9341-ffd34b147f70

IssuerUri : https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2?idpid=<GUID>

PassiveSignInUri : https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/idp?idpid=<GUID>
PreferredAuthenticationProtocol : saml
PromptLoginBehavior :
SignOutUri : https://accounts.google.com/logout
SigningCertificate : <BASE64 encoded certificate>

Verify federated authentication between Google Workspace and Azure AD
From a private browser session, navigate to https://portal.azure.com and sign in with a Google Workspace account:
- As username, use the email as defined in Google Workspace
- The user will be redirected to Google Workspace to sign in
- After Google Workspace authentication, the user will be redirected back to Azure AD and signed in
