7. On the Service provider details page, replace the ACS URL and Entity ID with the corresponding values you got from Sumtotal Support in Step 2 above.
8. Click Continue.

   1. Click Add Mapping.
   2. Click the Select field menu and select a Google directory attribute.

    2. Add additional groups as needed (maximum of 75 groups).

      • 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.

8. Ensure that your Sumtotal user account email IDs match those in your Google domain.

Step 5: Verify that the SSO is working

Note: Sumtotal only supports IdP initiated SSO. You can’t use SSO if you sign in directly to Sumtotal.

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 Sumtotal.
4. At the top left, click Test SAML login. 

   Sumtotal 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.

You should be automatically redirected to your Sumtotal account.
