How Maximizer SSO Works with Google Cloud Identity
Maximizer CRM supports Single Sign-On by implementing federated authentication using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0. For this purpose, Google Cloud Identity functions as the Identity Provider (IdP). In order to validate user logins; Maximizer CRM communicates with Google Cloud Identity using SAML assertions via HTTP POST queries. For every login attempt; Maximizer CRM sends an authentication assertion to the IdP Login URL specified under System Options Single Sign-On. Google Cloud Identity validates the SAML query, and if the validation is successful, sets the assertion in the HTTP POST query to True. Maximizer CRM receives the assertion, verifies it against its SSO configuration, and allows single sign-on.

When SSO is implemented this way, a user only logs in once to Google Cloud Identity. Thereafter, for all login attempts to Maximizer CRM, the user’s Google Cloud Identity credentials are used.
