Moodle and Google SSO

Question

My school is looking to use moodle as an LMS and integrating it with google apps. What I would like to implement in the integration is a single sign on where once a user is logged into google apps, they would immediately be logged into their moodle account. I want this to also be possible vice versa where a user would also be automatically logged into their google apps account if they login to moodle instead. So far the plugins I have found can only do one or the other; not both (or perhaps I do not know how to configure them this way).

I have tried using googleoauth2 and GSAML but had no luck. Can someone please help or guide me somewhere that has this implemented?

Thanks you

Which version of Moodle is it? And do you have any error messages from the plugins you tried? — Russell England
I am using the latest stable version of Moodle (v2.9.1+). Googleoauth2 is working fine but it lacks the ability for users to automatically log into google apps when logged into moodle. I have also followed the instructions to setup the GSAML plugin however, when I try to login through google apps, the page is redirected and I receive a 403 error. — Andy Tang

THe process is well-documented here: https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Google_Apps_Integration

The OneLogin plugin (among other options) supports both SSO and Google Apps. I would suggest starting there.

The exact documentation (should you choose to proceed with this login) can be found here. You will need OpenAM as well.
