Hive 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 Hive

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

2. Sign in to  https://app.hive.com with your Hive administrator account.
3. Click your user icon at top right  Your workspace Auth.

   • SAML SSO URL: SSO URL
   • Identity Provider Issuer: Entity ID
   • Paste the contents of the IdP certificate into the Certificate text input area.
6. Go to the Appearance tab,  then click Save changes.

Step 3: Finish SSO configuration in Admin console

1. Return to the Admin console browser tab.

   Basic Information > Last Name	lastName

6. (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.

   This feature is currently in beta and not yet available to all customers.

   1. Under Google groups, click in the Add group entry field.
   2. Type one or more letters of the group name.

   Note: Regardless of how many group names you enter, the SAML response will only include groups that a user is a member of (directly or indirectly). For more information, see About group membership mapping.

2. From the Admin console Home page, go to AppsWeb and mobile apps.
3. Select Hive.

   Hive 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://app.hive.com.
2. Enter your email address and click Sign in with SSO. You should be automatically redirected to the Google sign-in page.
