For more information - see Find your Office 365 Tenant 

  1. Define your Microsoft 365 Domain:

$domain="yourdomain.tld"

  1. Define the IDP URL, this is the same value as the IDP URL in the connector, default value shown:

$idpUrl="https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/office365"

  1. Define the SSO metadata URI:
    • Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal
    • Navigate to the SSO Applications tab
    • Find and select Microsoft 365
    • Select the SSO tab and click Copy Metadata URL
    • Return to your  Powershell window
    • $metadataUri = <https://sso.jumpcloud.com/saml2/metadata/...>
  2. Define the logout URL:

$logoutUrl=”https://console.jumpcloud.com/userconsole/”

  1. Define the public cert:

Important:

This variable can't contain -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- and can't contain spaces or newlines.

Note:

Export the metadata file from your JumpCloud SSO configuration and copy the certificate string between

<ds:X509Certificate> and </ds:X509Certificate>

$certificate="MIIDtTCCAp2gAwIBAgIJAJUpvv+YllN1MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMEUxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRMwEQY…
TRUNCATED…

  1. Define the Issuer URI, this must be the same value as the IdP Entity ID previously defined in the JumpCloud SSO configuration:

$issuerUri="https://YOUR_DOMAIN.com

  1. Enable SSO for the defined domain:

New-MgDomainFederationConfiguration -DomainId $domain -DisplayName “JumpCloud” -MetadataExchangeUri $metadataUri -IssuerUri $issuerUri -SignOutUri $logoutUrl -PassiveSignInUri $idpUrl -ActiveSignInUri $idpUrl -SigningCertificate $certificate -PreferredAuthenticationProtocol saml -FederatedIdpMfaBehavior “acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp” | Format-List

  1. Disconnect from the Graph connection:

Disconnect-MGGraph

Now that you’ve configured the service provider, read SSO with Microsoft 365/Entra ID to learn how to authorize user access and validate authentication workflows. 

Troubleshooting

I am getting an issuerUri error.

Check the IdP Entity ID value in JumpCloud to the value entered in the $issuerUri command - it must match exactly and be in a “https://domain.com” or “urn:uri:domain.com” format.
