How to setup firebase SAML

[sieusaopolo15]

Based on firebase documentation, I am having some troubles with finding value for each fields in GCP identity provider like Entity ID, SSO URL or Certificates. Do these fields are retrievable in my firebase project or I have to get those from somewhere else ?

Hello @sieusaopolo15,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Firebase and GCP don’t provide the specific details you need, such as the Entity ID, SSO URL, or Certificates. Instead, you must get these from the identity provider you are integrating with. These values are unique to each identity provider's setup.

Here’s how to retrieve these fields:
1. Entity ID is a unique identifier for the identity provider, usually a URL or a URN. For SAML providers like Okta or Azure AD, you’ll find the Entity ID in the provider's admin console.
2. SSO URL is the endpoint where authentication requests are sent. Like the Entity ID, you must get this URL from the identity provider. It is often called the SAML Endpoint or Login URL.
3. Certificates are used to validate responses from the identity provider. You might need certificates for SAML or other providers using digital signatures. These can be found in the provider’s documentation or admin console.
