Gather Google Identity Platform credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Google Identity Platform. Gather these credentials before you move on.

A user with the Super Admin role in Google Identity Platform must perform this task.

Create a new project

As a Google Identity Platform Super Admin, sign in to https://console.cloud.google.com.

In the toolbar, click the project select dropdown, and click NEW PROJECT.

Create a new project for your organization:

Project Name: Choose a names, such as “C1 Integration”
Organization/Location: Choose the appropriate Organization/Location

After the project is created, make sure the correct project is selected in the dropdown at the top.

Enable the API

In the navigation menu, navigate to > APIs & Services > Library.

Search for and select the Identity Toolkit API.

Click Enable.

Create a service account

In the navigation menu, navigate to > APIs & Services > Credentials.

Select CREATE CREDENTIALS > Service Account.

Under Service account details, fill in the following:

Service account name: C1 Integration
Service account description: for example, “Service account for C1 Google Identity Platform integration”
Click CREATE AND CONTINUE

Under Grant this service account access to a project, grant the Identity Toolkit Viewer role.

Leave Grant users access to this service account blank.

Click DONE.

Get credentials

Navigate back to APIs & Services > Credentials and select the service account you just created.

On the Service Account Details Page, click KEYS.

Click ADD KEY > Create new key.

Choose JSON and click CREATE. The newly created key is automatically downloaded.

Keep the downloaded file safe, you’ll use it to set up the connector.

Done. Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Google Identity Platform connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
Access to the set of Google Identity Platform credentials generated by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted
Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Google Identity Platform and click Add.

Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

In the Credentials (JSON) area, click Choose file and upload the JSON file.

Click Save.

The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your Google Identity Platform connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Follow these instructions to use the Google Identity Platform connector, hosted and run in your own environment.When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

Resources

GitHub repository: Access the source code, report issues, or contribute to the project.

Step 1: Set up a new Google Identity Platform connector

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Baton and click Add.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Google Identity Platform connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-google-identity-platform-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-google-identity-platform-secrets
type: Opaque
data:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <base64 encoded C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <base64 encoded C1 client secret>
  
  # Google Identity Platform credentials
  BATON_CUSTOMER_ID: <base64 encoded customer ID>
  BATON_DOMAIN: <base64 encoded domain>
  BATON_ADMINISTRATOR_EMAIL: <base64 encoded administrator email>
  BATON_CREDENTIALS_JSON: <base64 encoded credentials JSON>

Base64 Encoding: Use echo -n "your-value" | base64 to encode your secrets,See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

# baton-google-identity-platform.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-google-identity-platform
  labels:
    app: baton-google-identity-platform
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-google-identity-platform
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-google-identity-platform
        baton: true
        baton-app: google-identity-platform
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-google-identity-platform
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-google-identity-platform:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-google-identity-platform
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-google-identity-platform-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Apps. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Google Identity Platform connector to. Google Identity Platform data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

Done. Your Google Identity Platform connector is now pulling access data into C1.
