11. (Optional) If you want to send a user’s group membership information in the SAML response, enter the group names that are relevant for this app in the Group membership field.

Step 4: Verify that the SSO is working

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

IdP-initiated

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

2. From the Admin console Home page, go to AppsWeb and mobile apps.
3. Select Jitbit.
4. At the top left, click Test SAML login. 

   Jitbit 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://your-domain.jitbit.com.
3. Click Sign In.
4. Click SSO Login (SAML). You should be redirected to the Google sign-in page
5. Enter your username and password.

After your sign in credentials are authenticated, you are redirected back to Jitbit.

If the user account authenticated by Google IdP does not already exist in Jitbit, a new user account is automatically provisioned by Jitbit for the signed in user.
