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 Jobvite

Step 1: Get Google identity provider (IdP) information

In the next step, you send this information to Jobvite via email. After they respond, you return to the Admin console in Step 3 below to finish SSO configuration

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

Send an email to your support contact at Jobvite to let them know you'd like to enable SAML on your account.  Include the Certificate, the SSO URL, and the Entity ID you downloaded in step 1.

After Jobvite has enabled SAML on their side, continue with SSO setup in the next step.
