Configuring Google Workspace to authenticate to Digital Theatre+

This article provides the information required to set up SAML 2 authentication using Google Workspace

To set up Single Sign-On (SSO) with Google Workspace for Digital Theatre+, create a Custom SAML Application in Google Workspace, configure the required Service Provider details, and then submit your IdP metadata to the Digital Theatre+ support team so they can complete the configuration.

How do I set up SSO with Google Workspace for Digital Theatre+?

Step-by-step setup instructions

  1. Create a Custom SAML Application in your Google Workspace.  Instructions for doing this can be found on the Google Support website: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519
  2. When Google Workspace displays the IdP details screen, download the IdP Metadata file — you will need to attach this in Step 3.
  3. Submit the SSO request form at https://sso.digitaltheatreplus.com, attaching your metadata file. This creates a ticket with our technical support team, who will handle the configuration. If you prefer, you can email support@digitaltheatreplus.com or submit via https://support.digitaltheatreplus.com.
  4. Add the following Service Provider details (you will need to replace the ACS URL later — see Step 8):
    1. ACS URL: https://auth.digitaltheatreplus.com/temporary
    2. Entity ID: https://auth.digitaltheatreplus.com
    3. Start URL: https://edu.digitaltheatreplus.com
  5. Configure the Name ID as:
    1. Format: Email
    2. Name ID: Primary email
  6. Configure the Attributes to map the Google directory attribute 'Primary Email' to the App attribute 'email'
  7. Assign the new custom SAML App to the users who require access.
  8. Replace the ACS URL value  with the correct entry when supplied by the Digital Theatre+ technical support team in response to Step 3.
  9. Test the SAML Login works as expected, and if you have any issues reply to the service request created in Step 3.
