Google Workspace (secured with NetSkope) SSO with miniOrange IdP


miniOrange provides Identity & Access Management (IAM) for your Google Workspace secured with NetSkope Reverse Proxy. miniOrange IAM solution is fully compatible with NetSkope as well as integrates with multiple third-party applications to provide a wide range of solutions for protecting sensitive data against loss or leakage and ensuring compliance by securing the authentication. miniOrange is one trusted platform to secure your identity, from customers to your workforce with Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), Adaptive Authentication, User Provisioning, Directory Authentication and more when accessing cloud services, websites, and private apps from anywhere, on any device. We provide a centralized platform with enhanced capabilities for access management and identity management that can integrate with any system and any third-party application.

miniOrange IDP is compliant with NetSkope SAML Proxy and can enable SSO into any third-party application connected via NetSkope.

How NetSkope Reverse Proxy works?


NetSkope uses SAML-based SSO. NetSkope SAML proxy is required to direct the cloud app traffic sanctioned by your organization to the reverse proxy running in your tenant instance in the NetSkope cloud.

When an end user goes to a SaaS application, end user traffic is redirected to miniOrange via SAML for user authentication. Once that user is authenticated, traffic is redirected to the NetSkope reverse proxy engine for further analysis.

This document provides instructions to configure NetSkope as SAML Proxy to direct your configured Google Workspace application traffic to the reverse proxy, running in a customer’s tenant instance in the NetSkope cloud. In this case miniOrange is the IdP (Identity Provider) and the Google Workspace is the SP (Service Provider).


miniOrange and NetSkope Reverse Proxy Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for Google Workspace supports the following features:


  • SP Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO)
  • IdP Initiated Single Sign-On (SSO)

Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.
