A slight change went live this week - it should now be possible to use
SAML single sign-on (SSO) even if you are using an IdP aggregator (as
long as your IdP aggregator supports this). If SSO already works for
you, you can stop reading now.

The change is a new checkbox in SSO settings which when checked allows
IdP aggregators to recognize which domain they are receiving a SAML
request from. Quoting from the help page:

"How do provider names work?

The provider name is included in the SAML request to the IdP (Identity
Provider). You can choose whether to include a standard or specific
provider name. When multiple domains are using SSO with the same IdP
aggregator, a specific provider name can be parsed by the IdP
aggregator to identify the correct domain name for the SAML request.

If you don't check the box to enable a domain specific provider name,
Google will send the standard provider name (google.com) in the SAML
request.

If you check the box to enable this feature, Google will send a
provider name specific to your domain (google.com/a/your_domain.com),
where 'your_domain.com' is replaced with your actual domain name."
