Solution Summary

This guide describes Google Cloud Workforce Identity integration with RSA ID Plus using SAML 2.0. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.

      

Use Case

Google Cloud Workforce Identity can be integrated with RSA ID Plus using SAML Relying Party and SAML My Page. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Google Cloud Workforce Identity. 
      

Integration Types

SSO integrations use SAML 2.0 or HFED technologies to direct users' web browsers to Cloud Access Service (CAS) for authentication. The integration provides Single Sign-On (SSO) using Relying Party and My Page. 
   

  • Relying Party integrations use SAML 2.0 to direct users’ web browsers to CAS for authentication. With Relying Party integration, CAS can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication, depending on the service provider's capability.
  • My Page provides SSO to Google Cloud Workforce Identity users leveraging the RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.

    Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with IDR. 

    Note: RSA recommends using My Page instead of IDR SSO. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with IDR. For more information, see Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements. 


                         

Supported Features

This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Google Cloud Workforce Identity using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Google Cloud Workforce Identity with RSA using all of the integration types. 
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and Google Cloud Workforce Identity components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
