Google as Identity Provider for Canvas

[igarciaGT]

Hello,

I want to use Google to login to our self-hosted Canvas, when I look at the documentation about integrating Google and Canvas all points to using SAML but I want to know why and how to use just "Google" as it appears in the Identity Providers in the Authentication pages.

The "Add an identity provider to this account:" drop down box shows: Facebook, GitHub, Google, etc.

Thank you.

Can anybody help us out here?

I have the same doubt.

Theres no point in doing SAML when there is native integration available.
