- Configure SAML in your Zoho account using the SSO URL and the Certificate downloaded from Google.
- Paste the copied SSO URL in the Sign-in URL field.
- Paste the Certificate in the X.509 Certificate field.
- Once you have configured SAML in Zoho Accounts, download the metadata file and open it using your browser.
- From the metadata file, copy the Entity ID and ACS URL.
- Return to your Google Admin Console and click Continue.
