Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, B

Explanation

To successfully implement user synchronization and SSO with a third-party IdP, you must configure Google Cloud Directory Sync to sync user accounts from your on-premises directory to Google Workspace. Additionally, enabling SSO in the Google Admin Console and uploading the IdP metadata file is required for authentication integration between the systems. The other options either describe unnecessary steps or misunderstand the role of certain components in the configuration process.

  • A. Correct.

    Correct. Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) is used to synchronize user accounts from an external directory, such as Active Directory, to Google Workspace. This step is necessary for ensuring users are in sync between the systems.

  • B. Correct.

    Correct. Enabling SSO in the Google Admin Console and uploading the IdP metadata file is required to configure the integration between Google Workspace and the third-party IdP for authentication.

  • C. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. The configuration involves setting up Google Workspace to redirect authentication requests to the IdP, not the other way around.

  • D. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. Google Workspace does not require generating a SAML certificate. Instead, it uses the IdP's metadata and certificate for SSO setup.

  • E. Incorrect.

    Incorrect. While a service account can be used for various tasks, it is not required for configuring GCDS or SSO in this scenario.
