Question 13
With the recent acquisition of a large overseas company, you are tasked with integrating their user base into your existing Google Workspace setup. This new company uses a different IdP. While you want to ensure a seamless login experience for all users, you also want to maintain the distinct identity sources. Which step is essential in Google Workspace to support authentication via both IdPs?
-
A
Duplicate the existing SSO settings and modify the SSO URL to match the new IdP.
-
B
Set up Google's Multi-IdP option and route authentication based on user attributes or domains.
-
C
Enable 2-factor authentication for all users from the new company.
-
D
Configure Google Workspace to only accept SAML assertions from the new IdP.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A. Duplicating the existing SSO settings and modifying the SSO URL to match the new IdP may cause confusion and potential authentication issues. It is not the recommended approach for supporting authentication via multiple IdPs in Google Workspace.
B. Setting up Google's Multi-IdP option allows you to support authentication via multiple Identity Providers (IdPs) within Google Workspace. By routing authentication based on user attributes or domains, you can ensure a seamless login experience for all users while maintaining distinct identity sources from both IdPs.
C. Enabling 2-factor authentication for all users from the new company is a security measure and does not directly address the need to support authentication via both IdPs. While 2-factor authentication is important for securing user accounts, it is not the essential step for integrating users from different identity sources into Google Workspace.
D. Configuring Google Workspace to only accept SAML assertions from the new IdP would limit authentication to only one IdP, which goes against the requirement of supporting authentication via both IdPs. This option does not provide a solution for integrating users from different identity sources.
