How to integrate G Suite with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is explained. By integrating Azure AD with G Suite, users in Azure AD can login without Authentication to G Suite. G Suite is included in Azure Gallery SaaS apps so that the integration configuration is described in "Microsoft Tutorial document".
By use of FIDO2 Password-less Login with ThinC-AUTH, users can login to Azure AD from either Windows 10 or Browsers. Office365 portal is also entered without additional login. In access panel of Office365, users just click icon of G Suit to enter into G Suit platform without further authentication. The figure below shows the flow of SSO, which requires login authentication once. Since FIDO2 login has highest security among others so that secure SSO algorithm such as SAML is requested to maintain the security level.
