Google Workspace
Google Workspace, developed and marketed by Google, is a collection of cloud computing, productivity, and collaboration tools. In this guide, we integrate Google IdP to authenticate users into the Wazuh platform.
Learn how to create administrator and read-only roles on Google Workspace and map them with Wazuh in the sections below.
Setup Google Workspace single sign-on with administrator role
Follow these steps to integrate Google Workspace IdP with Wazuh for single sign-on and grant administrator role to the authenticated Google Workspace users on the Wazuh platform:
Google Workspace Configuration
Create an account in Google Workspace. A Google Workspace account is required for this configuration. Request a free trial if you don't have a paid license.
Go to https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/unified and sign in with your Google Admin account.
Create an app with Add custom SAML app.
Go to Apps > Web and mobile apps > Add App, then Add custom SAML app. Enter an App name and click CONTINUE.
Take note of the following parameters, as they will be used during the Wazuh indexer configuration:
Entity ID: This will be used later as the
idp.entity_idSelect DOWNLOAD METADATA and place the metadata file in the
configurationdirectory of the Wazuh indexer. The path to the directory is/etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/.
Select CONTINUE and configure the following:
ACS URL:
https://<WAZUH_DASHBOARD_URL>/_opendistro/_security/saml/acs. Replace the Wazuh dashboard URL field with the appropriate URL or IP address.Entity ID: Use any name here. This will be the
sp.entity_idin the Wazuh indexer configuration file. In our case, the value iswazuh-saml.
Leave the remaining parameters with their default values, then select CONTINUE.
Click on ADD MAPPING, under Employee details, choose Department, under App attributes, type Roles, and click FINISH.
Google doesn't support sending the Group membership attribute as part of the SAML Assertion (as the other Identity Providers do). So in this example, we are going to use Department as the attribute whose value will be used as our
roles_keyin the Wazuh indexer configuration. In this case, the value for the Department attribute will be stored asRoles.
Turn ON access for everyone.
Select the recently created app and click on User access.
Select ON for everyone and click SAVE.
Define the attribute for users.
Go to Directory then Users.
Select a user, go to User information, then edit Employee information.
Add a value to the Department field, in this example, we add
Wazuh_access, click on SAVE. This value will be used in therole_mappingfile configuration.
Wazuh indexer configuration
Edit the Wazuh indexer security configuration files. We recommend that you back up these files before you carry out the configuration.
Generate a 64-character long random key using the following command.
openssl rand -hex 32The output will be used as the
exchange_keyin the/etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/config.ymlfile.Place the
Google_Metadata.xmlfile within the/etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/directory. Set the file ownership towazuh-indexerusing the following command:# chown wazuh-indexer:wazuh-indexer /etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/Google_Metadata.xml
Edit the
/etc/wazuh-indexer/opensearch-security/config.ymlfile and change the following values:Set the
orderinbasic_internal_auth_domainto0and thechallengeflag tofalse.Include a
saml_auth_domainconfiguration under theauthcsection similar to the following:

The
