The question asks about how to enable users to authenticate with a single sign-on (SSO) identity provider that supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) integration with service providers, using Cloud Identity as the user management platform.
Option A suggests setting up SSO with Google as an identity provider to access custom SAML apps. This option is not relevant to the question because it suggests using Google as the identity provider, rather than the company's own SSO provider.
Option B suggests setting up SSO with a third-party identity provider with Google as a service provider. This option is also not relevant to the question because it suggests using a third-party identity provider instead of the company's own SSO provider.
Option C suggests obtaining OAuth 2.0 credentials, configuring the user consent screen, and setting up OAuth 2.0 for Mobile & Desktop Apps. This option is not relevant to the question because it does not address SSO with a SAML-based identity provider.
Option D suggests obtaining OAuth 2.0 credentials, configuring the user consent screen, and setting up OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications. This option is also not relevant to the question because it does not address SSO with a SAML-based identity provider.
To enable users to authenticate using the company's SSO provider with Cloud Identity, the correct approach would be to configure Cloud Identity as a SAML service provider and set up SSO with the company's SSO identity provider using SAML. This involves configuring the SAML integration between the identity provider and the service provider (Cloud Identity) by exchanging metadata files that contain information about the endpoints and attributes of the two parties.
Once the SAML integration is established, users can authenticate with their SSO credentials and gain access to the applications and services that are configured to trust Cloud Identity as a service provider. This approach enables users to use their existing SSO credentials to access resources in the cloud, providing a seamless and secure user experience.
