with GitLab.
<!-- Before deletion, see: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/#move-or-rename-a-page -->
The following documentation enables Okta as a SAML provider.
## Configure the Okta application
The following guidance is based on this Okta article, on adding a [SAML Application with an Okta Developer account](https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/Why-can-t-I-add-a-SAML-Application-with-an-Okta-Developer-account?language=en_US):
1. In the Okta admin section, make sure to select Classic UI view in the top left corner. From there, choose to **Add an App**.
1. When the app screen comes up you see another button to **Create an App** and
choose SAML 2.0 on the next screen.
1. Optionally you can add a logo
(you can choose it from <https://about.gitlab.com/press/>). You'll have to
crop and resize it.
1. Next, you'll need the to fill in the SAML general configuration. Here's an example (showing the required URLs and attribute mapping):
label:'Okta'# optional label for SAML login button, defaults to "Saml"
}
```
1.[Reconfigure](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) or [restart](../restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) GitLab for Omnibus and installations
from source respectively for the changes to take effect.
You might want to try this out on an incognito browser window.
## Configuring groups
NOTE:
Make sure the groups exist and are assigned to the Okta app.
You can take a look of the [SAML documentation](../../integration/saml.md#saml-groups) on configuring groups.
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->

# Google Workspace SSO provider
This document was moved to [another location](saml.md).
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is a [Single Sign-on provider](https://support.google.com/a/answer/60224?hl=en) that can be used to authenticate
<!-- This redirect file can be deleted after 2021-06-15>. -->
with GitLab.
<!-- Before deletion, see: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/documentation/#move-or-rename-a-page -->
The following documentation enables Google Workspace as a SAML provider for GitLab.
## Configure the Google Workspace SAML app
The following guidance is based on this Google Workspace article, on how to [Set up your own custom SAML application](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519?hl=en):
Make sure you have access to a Google Workspace [Super Admin](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2405986#super_admin) account.
Follow the instructions in the linked Google Workspace article, where you'll need the following information:
| SSO URL | Depends | Google Identity Provider details. Set to the GitLab `idp_sso_target_url` setting. |
| Certificate | Downloadable | Run `openssl x509 -in <your_certificate.crt> -noout -fingerprint` to generate the SHA1 fingerprint that can be used in the `idp_cert_fingerprint` setting. |
While the Google Workspace Admin provides IDP metadata, Entity ID and SHA-256 fingerprint,
GitLab does not need that information to connect to the Google Workspace SAML app.
---
Now that the Google Workspace SAML app is configured, it's time to enable it in GitLab.
## Configure GitLab
1. See [Initial OmniAuth Configuration](../integration/omniauth.md#initial-omniauth-configuration)
for initial settings.
1. To allow people to register for GitLab, through their Google accounts, add the following
label:'GoogleWorkspace'# optional label for SAML log in button, defaults to "Saml"
}
```
1.[Reconfigure](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) or [restart](../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) GitLab for Omnibus and installations
from source respectively for the changes to take effect.
To avoid caching issues, test the result on an incognito or private browser window.
## Troubleshooting
The Google Workspace documentation on [SAML app error messages](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6301076?hl=en) is helpful for debugging if you are seeing an error from Google while signing in.
Pay particular attention to the following 403 errors:
