Trying to sync google directory with vmware workspace one UEM

[Manimegalaiv]

Hello Everyone🙂,

I am using Google workspace Enterprise admin as my primary directory in our company.

and now we are in the process of implementing workspace one UEM and workspace access (cloud-based).

To connect workspace access we have configured the SAML authentication method and it works fine. ( google as IDP, VMware access SP).

and now we are trying to sync our google directory with workspace one UEM (using some GIT code called rollcall) and it gets crashed multiple times and also tried to provision the users in UEM that does not work either.

we do not have any LDAP directories or active directory in our company. All our users are in the cloud  (ONLY  in google workspace enterprise). no on-prem servers. 

So my question is what is the best way to integrate google directory users to VMware workspace ONE and provision devices (windows, macos,android, ios). what should be the integration method what type of directory will be suitable for my company?

Hi,

I would recommend AirWatch Provisioning App in VMware Workspace ONE Access (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workspace-ONE-Access/services/ws1access-awprovisiongapp/GUID-11206...). With this app your users will be automatically provisioned to UEM from access when they have been created after first log in.

Could you share how you did this? WE are trying to use google as IDP as well but are running into issues.

@niki2 

We have created IDP metadata from Google workspace enterprise and uploaded it to access and exported  SP metadata from Workspace one Access and uploaded that in google workspace (enterprise ).

Make sure your subscription has the capability of creating a saml connection.
If you elaborate on your issue, I might help be able to you.
