Integrate with Cisco Webex

Use JumpCloud SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give your users convenient but secure access to all their web applications with a single set of credentials. Automatically provision, update and deprovision users in Cisco Webex from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Cisco Webex. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.

Read this article to learn how to setup the Cisco Webex integration.

Prerequisites

• A JumpCloud Administrator account
• JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO à la carte option
• A Cisco Webex user account with administrator permissions
• Your Cisco domain name and ID

Important Considerations

• SAML SSO must be enabled to use SCIM
• Groups are not supported
• The following operations are supported for users:
  • Create users
  • Deactivate users
  • Update users

Attribute Considerations

• A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.

Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
3. Click + Add New Application.
4. Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
5. Click Next.
6. In the Display Label, type your name for the application. Optionally, you can enter a Description, adjust the User Portal Image and choose to hide or Show in User Portal.

7. Optionally, expand Advanced Settings to specify a value for the SSO IdP URL. If no value is entered, it will default to https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/<applicationname>.

8. Click Save Application.
9. If successful, click:
   • Configure Application and go to the next section
   • Close to configure your new application at a later time

Configuring the SSO Integration

To configure JumpCloud

1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
2. Select the SSO tab.
3. Replace any instances of YOUR_SUBDOMAIN and YOUR_ID with the appropriate values.
4. Add or change any attributes.
5. Click save.

Download the JumpCloud metadata file

1. Find your application in the Configured Applications list and click anywhere in the row to reopen its configuration window.
2. Select the SSO tab and click Export Metadata.
3. The JumpCloud-<applicationname>-metadata.xml will be exported to your local Downloads folder.

To configure Cisco Webex

1. Log in to WebEx Site Administration as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Configuration > Common Site Settings > SSO Configuration.
3. In the Federation Protocol dropdown, select SAML 2.0
4. Select the Site Certificate Manager link.
5. In the Site Certificate Manager window, select Browse, and then navigate to the location of the JumpCloud Metadata file you exported in the previous section.
6. Select the XML file, and then select OK.
7. Select Close.
8. Enter the required information on the SSO Configuration page and select the options you want to enable.

9. Select the Update button.

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

Configuring the Identity Management Integration

To configure Cisco Webex

1. Get your organization ID from the customer view in the Control Hub:
   • Log into Cisco Webex.
   • Click your organization name on the bottom left.
   • Copy the Organization ID into a text file. You need this value when you enter the tenant URL. 
2. Get the bearer token value for the Secret Token:
   • If using Webex (default), right-click this ID broker Webex link and open it in an incognito window.
   • If using Webex for Government, use this alternative ID broker Webex link to get the bearer token.

3. ​​​​From the Webex sign in page that appears, sign in with a full admin account for your organization.
4. An error page appears saying that the site can’t be reached, but this is normal.
5. The error page’s URL includes the generated bearer token. This token is valid for 365 days (after which it expires).
6. From the URL in the browser’s address bar, copy the bearer token value from between access_token= and &token_type=Bearer. For example, this URL has the token value highlighted: http://localhost:3000/auth/code#access_token={sample_token}&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3887999&state=this-should-be-a-random-string-for-security-purpose.
7. Save this value in a text file as a record of the token in case the URL isn’t available any more.

To configure JumpCloud

1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
2. Select the Identity Management tab.
3. Click Configure.
4. You are presented with two fields:
   • Base URL:
     • If using Webex (default) – enter https://api.ciscospark.com/v1/scim/{org_id}
     • If using Webex for Government – enter https://api-usgov.webex.com/v1/scim/{org_id}
       • Replace {org_id} with your organization’s ID
   • Token Key – paste the bearer token value you generated in the previous section.
5. Click Activate and then save.
6. You will receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified.

Attribute Mappings

The following table lists attributes that JumpCloud sends to the application. See Attribute Considerations for more information regarding attribute mapping considerations.

   • Imported – user has been imported and has an account in JumpCloud

7. Click import.
   • If you are importing less than 100 users, your import results will display in real time and you can continue onboarding your users 
   • If you have more than 100 users being imported, JumpCloud will send you an email when your import is complete

8. You can now connect and grant users access to all their JumpCloud resources. Learn more in the Authorize Users to an Application and Connecting Users to Resources articles.
