The OneLogin Google Gadget allows you to embed your OneLogin dashboard inside iGoogle. This is a preview feature, which means that we are still making improvements. The gadget gives you one-click access to all your apps when you are logged into iGoogle and uses OAuth to ensure that only you can access your apps. 

Note that Google Apps users don't automatically have an iGoogle account and must register one manually, but that should change July 1, according to Google.

Configuring the Google gadget is quite easy.

1. Log into iGoogle

Go to www.google.com/ig and log in using your Google user name and password.

2. Add the OneLogin Gadget

Click Add Stuff on the iGoogle main page.

Enter the value http://app.onelogin.com/system/gadget/onelogin.xml and click Add. At this point you might get a pop-up that asks for your permission to add the gadget. Go ahead and accept that.

3. Log into the OneLogin Gadget

Log in with your OneLogin credentials. As soon as you have successfully logged in, you should see your dashboard embedded in iGoogle.

4. Adjust gadget size

If you have a lot of apps, your default gadget size will mostly like be too small, but you can adjust that via the Settings menu at the top of the page. Change the layout to 1 or 2 columns, depending on how many apps you have.
