To configure the Automated Enrollment Authentication Settings

2. Navigate to your enrollment configuration settings and search for authentication settings.
3. Under Identity Provider Settings, link the web app to JumpCloud.
4. If prompted, the SAML target URL on the MDM web app should match the IDP URL that’s provided in the JumpCloud configuration.
5. If prompted, the X.509 fingerprint or certificate on the MDM web app should match the public certificate that’s created after activating the JumpCloud Custom SAML Application. To find and upload the certificate:

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.
