Setting Up Google SSO with SAML in Zendesk
How do I set up Google SSO with SAML in Zendesk?
To set up Google SSO with SAML in Zendesk, ensure your Help Center is activated and follow the steps. First, install the Zendesk SSO app and configure the SSO option within the app, not in Google's security interface.
You'll need to decode the certificate and retrieve the certificate fingerprint using an online tool likeCertlogik. Ensure Zendesk is set to 'ON for everyone' and the entity ID field is filled with your subdomain name. For more details, check out the video on setting up SAML SSO with Google.
