# CreateSSOConfiguration

`POST /gitpod.v1.OrganizationService/CreateSSOConfiguration`

Creates or updates SSO configuration for organizational authentication.

 Use this method to:
 - Configure OIDC-based SSO providers
 - Set up built-in providers (Google, GitHub, etc.)
 - Define custom identity providers
 - Manage authentication policies

 ### Examples

 - Configure built-in Google SSO:

   Sets up SSO using Google Workspace.

   ```yaml
   organizationId: "b0e12f6c-4c67-429d-a4a6-d9838b5da047"
   clientId: "012345678-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.apps.googleusercontent.com"
   clientSecret: "GOCSPX-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"
   issuerUrl: "https://accounts.google.com"
   emailDomain: "acme-corp.com"
   ```

 - Configure custom OIDC provider:

   Sets up SSO with a custom identity provider.

   ```yaml
   organizationId: "b0e12f6c-4c67-429d-a4a6-d9838b5da047"
   clientId: "acme-corp-gitpod"
   clientSecret: "secret-token-value"
   issuerUrl: "https://sso.acme-corp.com"
   emailDomain: "acme-corp.com"
   ```
