# Google Apps

## Presentation

Google Apps can use SAML to authenticate users, behaving as an SAML service provider, as explained here.

To work with LL::NG it requires:

- An enterprise Google Apps account
- LL::NG configured as SAML Identity Provider
- Registered users on Google Apps with the same email than those used by LL::NG (email will be the NameID exchanged between Google Apps and LL::NG)

## Configuration

### Google Apps control panel

This part is based on SimpleSAMLPHP documentation.

As administrator, go in Google Apps control panel and click on Advanced tools:

Then select `Set up single sign-on (SSO)`:

Now configure all SAML parameters:

- Enable Single Sign-On: check the box. Uncheck it to disable SAML authentication (for example, if your Identity Provider is down).
- Sign-in page URL: SSO access point (HTTP-Redirect binding). Example: http://auth.example.com/saml/singleSignOn
- Sign-out page URL: this in not the SLO access point (Google Apps does not support SLO), but the main logout page. Example: http://auth.example.com/?logout=1
- Change password URL: where users can change their password. Example: http://auth.example.com

### Certificate

For the certificate, you can build it from the signing private key registered in Manager. Select the key, and export it (button `Download`). This will download the public and the private key.

Keep the private key in a file, for example lemonldap-ng-priv.key, then use openssl to generate an auto-signed certificate:

    openssl req -new -key lemonldap-ng-priv.key -out cert.csr
    openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in cert.csr -signkey lemonldap-ng-priv.key -out cert.pem

You can now the upload the certificate (`cert.pem`) on Google Apps.

You can also use the certificate instead of public key in SAML metadata, see SAML service configuration

### New Service Provider

You should have configured LL::NG as an SAML Identity Provider,

Now we will add Google Apps as a new SAML Service Provider:

1. In Manager, click on SAML service providers and the button `New service provider`.
2. Set GoogleApps as Service Provider name.
3. Set `Email` in `Options` » `Authentication Response` » `Default NameID format`
4. Disable all signature flags in `Options` » `Signature`, except `Sign SSO message` which should be to `On`
5. Select `Metadata`, and unprotect the field to paste the following value:

    <md:EntityDescriptor entityID="google.com" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata" xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata">
      <SPSSODescriptor protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">
        <AssertionConsumerService Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST" Location="https://www.google.com/a/mydomain.org/acs" index="1" />
        <NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</NameIDFormat>
      </SPSSODescriptor>
    </md:EntityDescriptor>

Change mydomain.org (in `AssertionConsumerService` markup, parameter `Location`) into your Google Apps domain. Also adapt your entityID to match the Assertion issuer: google.com/a/mydomain.org

### Application menu

You can add a link in application menu to display Google Apps to users.

You need to adapt some parameters:

- Address: set one of Google Apps URL (all Google Apps product a distinct URL), for example http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/mydomain.org/render
- Display: As Google Apps is not a protected application, set to `On` to always display it

Change mydomain.org into your Google Apps domain

### Logout

Google Apps does not support Single Logout (SLO).

Google Apps has a configuration parameter to redirect user on a specific URL after Google Apps logout (see Google Apps control panel).

To manage the other way (LL::NG → Google Apps), you can add a dedicated logout forward rule:

    GoogleApps => http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/mydomain.org/logout

Change mydomain.org into your Google Apps domain
