RM Unify Question.

We are in the process of having RM Unify setup for us and wanted to know other people’s experiences with the process.

 

The first stage of Federating between Progresso, AD and RMU went OK but we have not really tested the user provisioning side of it yet.

 

The next phase is to Federate against our G-Suite tenancy and to be honest this is filling us with dread.

 

We are a MAT and to some part we have set up our G-Suite to reflect this. Our G-Suite has 2 domains, 1 of which is a secondary domain. We have a lot of users (Governors and Trustees etc.) that have a G-Suite accounts that we feel do not need RMU accounts. If we Federate, it appears that both Domains will be Federated and the logon process to their Team Drives etc. will be redirected to RMU to change passwords.

 

A lot of our users are technically challenged and we are concerned how smooth the process will be for them.

 

As a school, we also use Google Classroom a lot. How is the logon process handled once we are Federated against G-Suite?

 

How did Federation against G-Suite go for other schools and did your users manage it OK?

we love rmunify here and have multiple systems federated with rmunify including office365, google apps, roombookingsystem, showmyhomework, cc4anywhere, activelearn and others.

 

once a user is created on sims then automatically they are created a rmunify account then automatically they are created a gsuite account for single sign on.

we also have rmunify set for sso auto login when they login to windows or chrome so seamless login for them just click onto gmail and it works.

 

i know rmunify is a bit of one glove fit solution and you have to conform to their methods without much flexibility and they usually have different support options for MAT because of this but regardless i would federate it and then force everyone to use the new method. if they complain that now they have to go via rmunify to login then you just have to add other sso services to rmunify to make it worth their while. also you can play the 2fa additional security card because rmunify now supports 2fa for apps such as gmail and o365 so that is a bonus.
