Remote User Token won’t help you. Google SSO for enterprises utilizes the SAML protocol. You’ll need to point Google SSO at your Nexus instance and similarly point your Nexus instance at Google SSO using SAML metadata.

While I have been involved in SAML integrations before, I haven’t specifically attempted to connect Nexus and Google SSO. My guidance is based on general knowledge of SAML.
