Replicon cloud application

You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

With Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), your users can sign in to enterprise cloud applications with their Google Cloud credentials.

Set up SSO via SAML for Replicon

Before configuring SSO, ask Replicon support to provide a unique ID for your organization. This is provided after registration.

Step 1: Set up Google as a SAML identity provider (IdP)

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsWeb and mobile apps.
3. Click Add appSearch for apps.
4. Enter Replicon in the search field.
5. In the search results, hover over the Replicon SAML app and click Select.
6. On the Google Identity Provider details page, download the IDP metadata.
7. Click Continue.
8. On the Service provider details page, edit the ACS URL and Entity ID fields, replacing {your-company-name} with your Replicon account name.
9. Click Continue.
10. (Optional) On the Attribute Mapping page, map Google directory attributes to corresponding application attributes:

    1. Click Add Mapping.
    2. Click the Select field menu and select a Google directory attribute.
    3. Enter the corresponding application attribute under App attributes.
11. (Optional) To enter group names that are relevant for this app:

    1. For Group membership (optional), click Search for a group, enter one or more letters of the group name, and select the group name.
    2. Add additional groups as needed (maximum of 75 groups).
    3. For App attribute, enter the service provider’s corresponding groups attribute name.

    Regardless of how many group names you enter, the SAML response will include only groups that a user is a member of (directly or indirectly). For more information, go to About group membership mapping.

12. On the Attribute mapping page, click Finish.

Step 2: Set up Replicon as a SAML 2.0 service provider (SP)

1. Open a new incognito browser window.
2. Sign in to https://login.replicon.com with your organization's Replicon administrator account.
3. Open this URL on your browser:
   https://na7.replicon.com/{your-company}/services/SecurityService1.svc/help/test/EnableSAMLAuthentication2
   Replace {your-company} with the name of your company as registered with Replicon.
4. Expand v20Configuration  metadataConfiguration.
5. Click Choose File and upload the Google IdP metadata downloaded in Step 1.
6. Click Submit. You should see a Success message.
7. (Optional) Create users in Replicon:
   • Click Administration from the breadcrumb menu options.
   • Click Users under Employees and Organization.
   • Fill in the form with relevant details, making sure that the Login Name you use is the user’s Google email address.
   • Click Add User.

Step 3: Enable the Replicon app

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsWeb and mobile apps.
3. Select Replicon.
4. Click User access.

5. To turn a service on or off for everyone in your organization, click On for everyone or Off for everyone, and then click Save.

6. (Optional) To turn a service on or off for an organizational unit:

   1. At the left, select the organizational unit.
   2. To change the Service status, select On or Off.
   3. Choose one:
      • If the Service status is set to Inherited and you want to keep the updated setting, even if the parent setting changes, click Override.
      • If the Service status is set to Overridden, either click Inherit to revert to the same setting as its parent, or click Save to keep the new setting, even if the parent setting changes.
        Note: Learn more about organizational structure.
7. To turn on a service for a set of users across or within organizational units, select an access group. For details, go to Use groups to customize service access.
8. Ensure that your Replicon user account email IDs match those in your Google domain.

Step 4: Verify that the SSO is working

Replicon supports both Identity Provider (IdP) initiated and Service Provider (SP) initiated SSO. Follow these steps to verify SSO in either mode:

IdP-initiated

1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

   Sign in using an account with super administrator privileges (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsWeb and mobile apps.
3. Select Replicon.
4. At the top left, click Test SAML login. 

   Replicon should open in a separate tab. If it doesn’t, use the information in the resulting SAML error messages to update your IdP and SP settings as needed, then retest SAML login.

SP-initiated

1. Close all browser windows.
2. Open  https://www.replicon.com and click Login.
3. Enter your company name as registered with Replicon, User Name as your Google user’s email ID, and any dummy password. You should be redirected to the Google sign in page.
4. Enter your username and password.

After your credentials are authenticated, you are redirected back to Replicon.

If the user account authenticated by Google IdP does not already exist in Replicon, you see an error. See step 2 to manually create a new user in Replicon before verifying SSO.
