OneLogin works great with Google Apps and SAML. Not only are your online emails and documents more secure, but they are also always just a few clicks away. Read more about this in our tip about bookmarking Gmail, Docs and Spreadsheets.

Unfortunately, when you enable SAML in Google Apps, you also prevents users from changing their password, which might still be needed for those who access GMail using POP3 or IMAP from their desktop mail client or mobile phone.

If you enter your administrator email and password on the Google Apps app under Manage Apps, users will be able to change the mail client password via the dashboard. This is done by clicking the pencil on the Google Apps login, which will bring up the window to the right.

One of the great advantages of single sign-on is that all of your apps are in one place. Most of us use only a handful of apps intensely, which is where being able to just click on a icon saves a lot of time. But what about those apps that we use less often? A good example are those apps where the entire organization shares one login that you can never remember, such as the corporate FedEx account, a domain name registrar or a hosting provider.

OneLogin allows you to make apps shared. An admin fills in the credentials and users never have to worry about logging in. Not only does this save everyone a lot of time, it also makes access to the app more secure because users would otherwise have those hard-to-remember passwords written on post-it notes.

At OneLogin we use shared apps for Authorize.net, SendGrid, bit.ly, Twitter, Squarespace and Rackspace. Click-click. Ta-ta!

Note that this feature should not be used for cheating with SaaS licenses. Sharing seats is exactly the kind of thing that gets you in trouble when employees leave your organization. More about this in another blog post soon.
