Integration with G-Suite

[avshch]

We are looking for Meraki integration with G-Suite which would pull mac-addresses of the enrolled ChromeBooks into G-Suite to connect to Meraki WiFi SSID.

I don't really get it.  Are you referring to ChromeBooks enrolled with Meraki Systems Manager? If so, you don't need to do anything special, you can use the built in certificate authentication.

I think he's talking about devices that are enrolled in G Suite's own device management, not SM?

There's these two ways to use the G Suite/Apps credentials to connect to the network if you don't want to or can't go the Systems Manager way (which would still be better).

• The splash page way:

• The WPA2-Enterprise way:

The splash auth page would not work as our ChromeBooks are locked in kiosk mode with Citrix receiver only.

Our authentication into Google is configured with Okta SAML SSO.

I will request the support to enable "Google Apps 802.1X Authentication feature" for testing and provide the feedback.

Thanks,

@avshch can you change to using the Meraki MDM for your Chromebooks?  This would solve your problem, because it can do automatic certificate deployment, and can then do WPA2-Enterprise authentication using the certificate - which requires no interaction from the user.

[avshch]

I will check internally but this would require re-enroll over 1K devices into Meraki MDM. It could be a little problematic.

Looking for some guidance.  It appears you were in a similar situation we are.  What was the best solution with your scenario?

[avshch]

We are not using Meraki Systems manager to control ChromeBooks.
