Using JIT Provisioning

Additional attributes are required to use JIT provisioning. JIT required attributes are prepopulated and are on by default to enable JIT provisioning. You can’t edit the JIT required service provider attributes. You can customize the JumpCloud attribute name and the constant value for JIT required attributes. Toggle off the attributes to opt out of sending the attributes in the SAML assertion

To complete the provisioning process

1. Authorize a user’s access to the application in JumpCloud.  
2. Have the user log in to the application using SSO. The SAML assertion passes from JumpCloud to the service provider, and gives the service provider the information it needs to create the user account.

Authorizing User SSO Access

Users are implicitly denied access to applications. After you connect an application to JumpCloud, you need to authorize user access to that application. You can authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel or from the Groups Configuration panel. 

To authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.
3. Select the User Groups tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups.
4. Select the check box next to the group of users you want to give access.
5. Click save. 

To learn how to authorize user access from the Groups Configuration panel, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application.

Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)

IdP-initiated user workflow

• Access the JumpCloud User Console
• Go to Applications and click an application tile to launch it
• JumpCloud asserts the user’s identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application

SP-initiated user workflow

• Go to the SP application login – generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO

• Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials
• After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected back to the SP and automatically logged in

Removing the SSO Integration

To deactivate the SSO Integration

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
3. Search for the application that you’d like to deactivate and click to open its details panel. 
4. Select the SSO tab.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the configuration.
6. Click Deactivate SSO. 
7. Click save. 
8. If successful, you will receive a confirmation message.

To delete the application

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
3. Search for the application that you’d like to delete.
4. Check the box next to the application to select it.
5. Click Delete.
6. Enter the number of the applications you are deleting
7. Click Delete Application.
