What you get

  • Sign in from Ferentin

    People type their work email at Ferentin and are sent to Google Workspace to authenticate.

  • Email domain routing

    The domain of a work email decides which identity provider signs that person in.

  • Multi-factor authentication

    Your Google Workspace MFA policies run before Ferentin issues a session.

How it works

Setup is a ten-minute exchange between the Ferentin admin console and Google Cloud. Ferentin shows your redirect URL with a copy button; you create a Web application OAuth client in Google Cloud and paste it in as an authorized redirect URI. Google issues a client ID and secret, which you bring back to Ferentin. Google's discovery document is fixed, so Ferentin reads it the moment you move on and the endpoints fill themselves.

Set the app's audience to Internal in Google Cloud and only accounts in your Workspace organization can complete sign-in. People start at Ferentin, where the domain of the email address they type routes them to Google. Suspend or delete a user in the Google Admin console and they can no longer sign in.

Signing in opens the Ferentin admin console, so add each person on the Administration page by their Google Workspace email before their first sign-in.
