Google Auth for SSO to Office 365

Is anyone using Google Apps Auth for SSO to Office 365?

We use Google Apps for email and are starting to use Office 365 for MS Office Suite Management with a domain account.  I can see my manually added Office 365 users in Azure AD.

I'm using G Suite's (Google Apps) administrator help page - Using SAML to set up federated SSO - Pre integrated applications N through Z - Office 365 cloud application.  The URL is: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6363817?hl=en

It seems to give good step-by-step instructions for accomplishing the task.

From the first section "Set up Office 365 as a SAML 2.0 service provider", I need to:
 - install Azure AD Connect to get the rest of my user accounts in Azure AD/Office 365
 - install AD FS for the federation

After this, step #6 states to configure the IdP certificates and set the URL using the Active Directory PowerShell on your federated Active Directory Domain.

I haven't used PowerShell to configure certificates or to set a URL, so I was wondering if anyone could provide guidance on the syntax for these commands or if there is a PowerShell script?

In case it's helpful, my domain controllers are Server 2012 R2.

If additional information is needed, please let me know.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Can you explain in plain english what you want?

DO you want the user to use password from Google Apps, then login to Office 365
OR you want the user to use password from Office365, then login to Google Apps?

##########

NOTE: no, you don't need to install AADConnect and ADFS if you password is managed by Google apps.
NOte: you don't need to install ADFS to get the password over, it will much easier to use password sync and do the same job.

Jian An Lim,

I apologize, if I wasn't clear.

I want the user to use password from Google Apps, then login to Office 365.

Can you help with the steps necessary to accomplish this?

Thank you.

Ishriver,

I'm in a similar situation.  What did you end up doing?  Our issue with using MS Azure to authenticate SSO for Google was that one has to turn it on for everyone or no one.  We only wanted to do it for a select Google ou.
