Step 5: Verify that the SSO is working

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

   Image Relay 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. Open a new browser window and navigate to https://{yourdomain}.imagerelay.com/library, replacing {yourdomain} with your Image Relay domain.
2. In the Employees Log In area click Log In. You should be automatically redirected to the Google sign-in page.
3. Enter your sign in credentials.

   After your sign-in credentials are authenticated you're automatically redirected back to Image Relay.
