Google OIDC: Sign in to Google via OXU
Last updated
Last updated
This document defines the requirements and behavior of the Google OIDC feature, allowing users to authenticate their Google account through OXU.
Before enabling Google OIDC, you must complete the following security setup to avoid being locked out:
Account Activation: Email verification must be completed.
Password Setup: A secure OXU password must be created.
MFA Configuration: Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA) must be fully enabled and active.
Google OIDC delegates your Google authentication to OXU.
Login Redirection: When you use "Sign in with Google" on any platform, application, or website, you will be automatically redirected to the OXU login screen.
Unified Identity: You will no longer use your Gmail/Google password to sign in. You will use your OXU credentials instead.
Google Services Access: Once OIDC is enabled, logging into Google services directly (such as Gmail or Google Drive) will also require your OXU account and 2FA verification.
Account Readiness: You MUST ensure your OXU account is fully verified and 2FA is functional before turning this feature on. Failure to do so may result in being unable to access your Google or OXU accounts.
Step-by-Step Activation
Summary
