Configuring the identity provider

The SDS encryption service for Google Workspace uses an identity provider (IdP) to authenticate end users, manage their access and life cycle. It is compatible with Google Identity and third party identity providers based on the OpenID protocol.

The following procedure describes the configuration with Google Identity. For more information, refer to the Google documentation.

When using a third party IdP, get the client ID from the SDS encryption service for Google Workspace. Refer to the documentation of your IdP.

To provide your external guest users with access to your encrypted content, you must create a specific IdP to authenticate them. For more information, refer to the Google documentation on configuring a guest IdP for al external users.
