Adobe cloud application

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

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

Set up SSO via SAML for Adobe

Here's how to set up single sign-on (SSO) via SAML for the Adobe application.

Step 1: Set up a directory on the Adobe Admin Console

1. Sign in to your Adobe Admin Console.
2. Under Settings  Identity, click Create Directory.
3. Name the directory and choose Federated ID as the authentication method.
4. Select Google as the Identity Provider.
5. Click Log in to Google and enter your Google credentials.
6. Authorize Adobe to access your Google account.
7. Confirm Google directory information.
8. Select domains to sync.
9. On the Configure Google page, click Go to Google Admin Console to open a new tab, then continue with the Google-side setup steps below. Leave the Configure Google tab open to access information you'll need during setup.

Step 2: 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 Adobe in the search field.
5. In the search results, hover over the Adobe SAML app and click Select.
6. On the Google Identity Provider details page, download the IDP metadata (Option 1).
7. Click Continue.
8. On the Service provider details page, replace the default ACS URL and Entity ID with the values provided on the Configure Google page in the Adobe Admin Console.
9. Click Continue.
10. (Optional) To map Google directory attributes to the corresponding app attributes, in the Attribute Mapping window:

    1. Click Add Mapping.
    2. Click Select fieldselect a Google directory attribute.
    3. For App attributes, enter the corresponding app attribute.
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 groups attribute name of the corresponding service provider.

    Regardless of how many group names you enter, the SAML response includes 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 3: Complete the setup in the Adobe Admin Console

1. Return to the browser tab where the Configure Google page is open in Adobe Admin console.
2. Complete the Directory configuration by uploading the IDP metadata that you downloaded in Step 2 above. 

Step 4: Enable the Adobe 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 Adobe.
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 Adobe user account email IDs match those in your Google domain.

Step 5: Verify that the SSO is working

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

   Adobe 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 https://www.adobe.com/login. Enter your email address. You should be automatically redirected to the Google sign-in page.
2. Enter your Google username and password.

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

Step 6: Set up auto-provisioning

As a super administrator, you can automatically provision users in the Adobe application.
