How auth in linux with google account

Question

I'm setting up Ubuntu 18.04, and trying the Ubuntu auth users with Google accounts from my G Suite. That's the idea, but after search about that, I can't find much information for this. Any ideas?.

There's a PAM module for google Authentication. On your system the following command shows the package details.

$ apt show libpam-google-authenticator

You can read about it at Github here:

I read about that, but this module, If I understand it, set a second factor auth, not work for auth with google account. – Daniel Gonzalez Jul 04 '19 at 15:44

What you need is centralised authentication, something like LDAP.

If you use a tool like Okta, you can indirectly tie GSuite to AD (or an LDAP server). And then of course you can tie OpenSSH there as well.

Thanks, in my work, we have LDAP, and the G-Suite authenticate with LDAP, linux too, but my idea, If is possible, was authenticate with the google account, for example, the user login in linux with [email protected] and password in the LDAP. – Daniel Gonzalez Jul 04 '19 at 15:47
