Setup SSO to AlibabaCloud using Google Apps.

configuration

The key attribute in configuring this provider is the URL which can be copied from the google apps, application list (I just pulled it from the HTML). An example of this is as follows:

https://accounts.google.com/o/saml2/initsso?idpid=XXXXXXX&spid=YYYYY&forceauthn=false

Where the following attributes are replace with:

• XXXXX is IdP identifier for your Google Apps Account.
• YYYYY is SP identifier for the AlibabaCloud SAML application, in your Google Apps Account.

2-factor support

Currently this provider supports:

• ToTP using applications like Google Authenticator or Authy
• SMS
