Automatically provision, update and deprovision users and groups in Forcepoint from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Forcepoint. 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 Forcepoint integration.
Prerequisites
- A JumpCloud administrator account.
- JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO add-on feature.
- A Forcepoint Private Access user account with administrator permissions.
- Forcepoint SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.
- If you need to update your token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration.
- Users that are deactivated or deleted in JumpCloud are deleted from Forcepoint users list.
- The following provisioning features are supported by Forcepoint Private Access:
- Create users.
- Update users.
- Deactivate users.
- Group push
- Groups are supported.
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
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Click + Add New Application.
- Type the name of the application in the Search field and select it.
- Click Next.
- 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.
If this is a Bookmark Application, enter your sign-in URL in the Bookmark URL field.
- 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>.
The SSO IdP URL is not editable after the application is created. You will have to delete and recreate the connector if you need to edit this field at a later time.
- Click Save Application.
- If successful, click:
- Configure Application and go to the next section
- Close to configure your new application at a later time
Configuring the Identity Management Integration
To configure Forcepoint
- In the Private Access management portal, go to Administration > SCIM Settings.
- Copy and make a note of the Base URL for the Forcepoint SCIM service.
- Click Generate New Token.
The Client ID and Secret (token) may only be shown once. Copy them to a secure location, like the JumpCloud Password Manager, for future reference.
To configure JumpCloud
- Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
- Select the Identity Management tab.
- Select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application checkbox if you want to provision, manage, and sync groups in Forcepoint from JumpCloud.
- Click Configure.
- You’re presented with two fields:
- Base URL: Enter the SCIM URL for Forcepoint: https://{YOUR_URL}/scim/v2
- Token Key: Paste the Token you generated in Forcepoint.
- Click Activate.
- You will receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified.
- Click save.
- You can now connect user groups to the application in JumpCloud to provision the members of that group in Forcepoint. Learn how to Authorize Users to an Application.

Group Management Considerations
Enabling Group Management
You must select the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option to manage groups and group membership in the application from JumpCloud.
Group Provisioning and Syncing
- Empty groups are not created
- JumpCloud takes over management of existing groups in the application when the user group name in JumpCloud matches the name of the group in the application
- All user groups associated with the application in JumpCloud are synced. Syncing occurs whenever there is a membership or group change event
- Group renaming is supported
- If a user group is disassociated from the application in JumpCloud, syncing immediately stops and the group is left as-is in the application. All members of that user group are deactivated in the application unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Group Deletion
- Managed groups deleted in JumpCloud are deleted in the application
- All members of the deleted group are deactivated in the application, unless they are associated with another active application group that is managed from JumpCloud
Disabling Group Management
- You can disable group and group membership management by unchecking the Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application option
- The managed groups and group membership are left as-is in the application
- JumpCloud stops sending group membership information for the user, but the user’s identity will continue to be managed from JumpCloud
Importing Users
This functionality is helpful if users have already been created in the application but have not been created in JumpCloud.
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
- Search for the application and click to open its configuration panel.
- Select the Identity Management tab.
- Click manual import.
- Select the users you want to create in JumpCloud from the application from the list of users that appear. Users in the list have two import statuses:
- New - user has not been imported
- Imported - user has been imported and has an account in JumpCloud
Tip: Try using the New Users-only filter when selecting users to import. This will move all of your new users to the top of the list, making them easier to identify and select.
- 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
- 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.
Warning: Imported users must be members of a user group bound to an application for JumpCloud to manage their identity in, and access to, the application.

The following Directory Insights (DI) events provide visibility into failures and detailed information about the user and group data being added or updated from HR or other external solutions to JumpCloud.
