Google SSO (Single Sign-On) enables users to log in to SeamlessHR with their Google accounts, streamlining the authentication process securely. It offers a convenient and centralized access control system, allowing employees to access SeamlessHR effortlessly.
Our Requirements
- Callback/Redirect URLs: This must be set on your Google Cloud dashboard e.g. https://{client-url}.seamlesshrms.com/google/callback where client-url is your company name.
- Client ID: This will be generated from your Google Cloud dashboard. It is usually in this format: 44792-4qtak23in3241ej.apps.googleusercontent.com
- Client Secret: This will be generated from your Google Cloud dashboard after you have created your project from the google cloud console.
In addition, we will require a Test account to be created for seamlessHR to enable us to verify the integration. It enables us to act like an employee of yours and login to Seamless HRMS to test that the OneLogin Auth login is fine:
- Email: e.g. seamlesshr_test@{YOUR_DOMAIN}.com
- Password: Password12345
