Integrate with Coupa

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.

Read this article to learn how to integrate with Coupa. 

Prerequisites

• A Coupa administrator account.
• A DEV or PROD account and your Coupa domain.
• A JumpCloud administrator account.

Important Considerations

• Coupa’s preferred setup is SP-Init-SSO.
• Coupa can also setup IdP-Init-SSO, IdP-Init-SSO would require IdP (JumpCloud) to send the  RelayState parameter along with SAML request.
  • One way to do this is add a QueryString to AssertionConsumerService in the xml …./sp/ACS.saml2?RelayState=https://<coupa-instance-domain-name>/sessions/saml_post. You can change the xml before creating connection.
• When authorizing users for SSO, set “Single Sign-On ID”, this is same as NameID passed in SAML request to Coupa, please check how the NameID is provisioned.

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. Click Upload Metadata.

7. 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 Coupa

1. Send the following information to Coupa:
   • Metadata: The JumpCloud metadata downloaded in the previous section.
   • Login URL: Paste the IDP URL from JumpCloud. This is required for IdP Initiated SSO. Read Coupa FAQ for more details.
   • Test User: Create a test user on IdP to test the connection.
   • Logout URL: The page Coupa will display when user logout from Coupa application and their session are cleared. This can be internal page, home page or any landing page hosted by customer.

2. Coupa will import the IdP metadata and complete the connection from SP to IdP and inform you when it’s complete.

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
