Google Single Sign On with ClassLink

On Friday, November 21, 2019 at 4:30PM Princeton ISD will begin using Single Sign On with ClassLink to log in to Google accounts. This will affect every Google service including Chrome devices.

If you are unable to log in to your Google accounts and need immediate assistance, call 2099. If you are not calling from a district phone, call (469) 952-5414.

This article is incomplete as some parts of the process can only be demonstrated once SSO has been enabled.

Overview

Single Sign On (SSO) in Google will look slightly different depending on the Google service you are trying to log in to. In some cases, you will be asked to enter your email address before being redirected to a ClassLink login page. In other cases you will be redirected immediately. When logging in to the ClassLink login page, use the same username and password that you use to log in to your desktop computer.

Chrome Devices

When logging in to a Chrome device you will be presented with a page that explains that the device is managed by princetonisd.net.

Google Web Services (Drive, Gmail, etc...)

Coming soon...

Email Clients (Outlook, Apple Mail, etc...)

Most email clients will behave similarly to Google Web Services. Very old email clients may need to have a "less secure" password configured. Google has an article on their knowledge base that explains how to do this (link).
