Google SSO - How do I log in?

[adrian3]

Greetings!

Stupid question, I've implmented Google SAML with Meraki Dashboard. I've successfully logged in with SAML/SSO via the "Test saml login" in the Google SAML app.

But how would I else log in to Meraki? I can't find anything on it, there is no "Log in with SSO" on the https://n201.meraki.com/login/dashboard_login?go=%2F&sh=201 login.

Sincerely,

Adrian

Only IdP-initiated SAML is supported currently, you access Dashboard via your Google Apps Dashboard/Widget (typically the 9 dots menu at the top right of any Google page when logged in) and click the App name you created.

Thanks, that should be included in the doc.

It is on our documentation: 

When using SAML with Dashboard, the user must first authenticate with the IdP. This is referred to as IdP-initiated SAML. After the user has successfully authenticated and been directed to Dashboard, they will be granted access if they have a valid role and the IdP is correctly configured. 

Note: Only IdP-initiated SAML is supported at this time.

For Google's documentation, I recommend submitting feedback. This can be done by hovering over any of the text on the page, and clicking the Feedback button to the right:

Hi @adrian3, we've just added support for SP-initiated SAML SSO. Check out this thread for details on signing up for the private beta!
