Integrate Sumo Logic with Google Apps (G Suite) IAM Service

Availability

This page has instructions for integrating Sumo Logic SAML with Google Apps IAM. This allows Sumo users to use  Google Apps credentials to log into Sumo Logic using Single Sign-On (SSO).

For more information, refer to the Google Support documentation.

Before you start

For key information about SAML in Sumo, see the Limitations section  of the "Set Up SAML for Single Sign-On" page.

Configure SSO for a Custom App

1. Log into the Google Admin Console.  
2. Select Apps > SAML Apps.
3. Select a new SAML app to be configured, or click the + at the bottom of the page.
4. On the Enable SSO for SAML Application page, select Setup my own Custom App at the bottom of the page.
   
5. The Google IdP Information page appears. Make note of the following URLs, as you will supply them when you configure SAML in Sumo:
   • SSO URL
   • Entity ID
   
6. Click Download for the Certificate.
7. Click Next.
8. In Basic Information for your Custom App page, enter the following:
   
   • Application Name. Enter Sumo Logic.
   • Description. Sumo Logic is the industry's leading, secure cloud-based log monitoring, management and analytics service that leverages big data for real-time IT insights.
   • Upload Logo. Use sumologic.png
9. Click Next.

Configure Sumo Logic SAML

1. In the Sumo web app, go to Administration > Security > SAML.
2. Click the plus (+) icon to create a new configuration.
   
3. In the Add Configuration page, enter the following details:
   
   • Configuration Name. Google Apps Auth (or, you can enter any name you like).
   • Debug Mode. Not required. Activating this setting now is useful for troubleshooting later. Select this option if you'd like to view additional details if an error occurs when a user attempts to authenticate. For more information, see View SAML Debug Information.
   • Issuer. Enter the Entity ID from the Google IdP Information dialog.
   • X.509 Certificate. Open the certificate file that you downloaded from the Google IdP Information dialog in a text editor. Copy and paste the contents into this field.
   • Attribute Mapping: Select Use SAML attribute and type the email attribute name in the text box. 
   • SP Initiated Login Configuration: Click this option. A Login Path field appears. Enter a unique identifier for your org. You can specify any alphanumeric string (with no embedded spaces), provided that it is unique to your org. (You can't configure a Login Path that another Sumo customer has already configured). The identifier is used to generate a unique URL for user login. For example, if you enter "yourcompanyname", the login URL for the HTTP redirect binding will be:

     https://service.deployment.sumologic.com/sumo/saml/redirect/yourcompanyname

     
     And the login URL for the HTTP POST binding will be:

     https://service.deployment.sumologic.com/sumo/saml/post/yourcompanyname
     

      where deployment is your specific deployment: us2|eu|au
   • Authn Request URL. Enter the SSO URL from the Google IdP Information dialog.
   • Disable Requested Authn Context. If you check this option, Sumo will not include the RequestedAuthnContext element of the SAML AuthnRequests it sends to your Idp. This option is useful if your IdP does not support the RequestedAuthnContext element
   • Roles Attribute: When you click this option, Roles Attribute field appears. Enter the SAML Attribute Name that is sent by the IdP as part of the assertion. For details, see Set Up SAML for Single Sign-On.
   • On-Demand provisioning. Select this option and specify the following attributes to have Sumo Logic automatically create accounts when a user first logs on. For more information, see Set Up SAML for Single Sign-On.
     • First Name Attribute. FirstName
     • Last Name Attribute. LastName
   • On-Demand Provisioning Roles. Analyst
   • Logout Page: Select this option and enter a URL if you'd like to point all users to the URL after logging out of Sumo Logic. For more information, see Set Up SAML for Single Sign-On.
4. Click Add. 
5. To view the details of your configuration, select it the Configuration List. The right side of the page displays the following information. You'll need to provide one of these URLs when you configure settings for your IdP.
   
   • SP Initiated (Redirect & POST values)
   • Authentication Request
   • Assertion Consumer
