Integrate with Keeper

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 and groups in Keeper from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Keeper. 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 Keeper integration.

Prerequisites

  • A JumpCloud administrator account.
  • JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO add-on feature.
  • A system running Keeper SSO Connect.
  • A Keeper administrator account on an Enterprise tier.

Important Considerations

  • An SSL from a trusted CA is recommended for use with Keeper SSO Connect, else users will be shown a certificate warning in their browser. Keeper SSO Connect will default to a self-signed cert if one is not provided.
  • If you need to update your token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration.
  • The API credentials are only valid after saving the provisioning method in the Keeper Admin Console for the given node
  • New users provisioned from JumpCloud will receive an email invitation to set up their Keeper vault
  • When de-provisioning users, their Keeper account will not be deleted but automatically locked instead
  • Keepers recommend to turn off JIT when using SCIM provisioning
  • Keeper SCIM API does not support the Enterprise schema attributes
  • New teams created by the SCIM sync are created in the “pending” state and require final approval from either the Keeper Administrator or another team member.

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
  • At the moment of provisioning the username and email should match.
  • Keeper API accepts name.givenName and name.familyName attributes from SCIM schema but those values are not presented in the Keeper Admin Console.
  • Any extra attributes sent to their API are just ignored.

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.

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

Note:

This varies by SP.

  • 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

Using JIT Provisioning

Additional attributes are required to use JIT provisioning. JIT required attributes are prepopulated and are on by default to enable JIT provisioning. You can’t edit the JIT required service provider attributes. You can customize the JumpCloud attribute name and the constant value for JIT required attributes. Toggle off the attributes to opt out of sending the attributes in the SAML assertion

To complete the provisioning process

  1. Authorize a user’s access to the application in JumpCloud.  
  2. Have the user log in to the application using SSO. The SAML assertion passes from JumpCloud to the service provider, and gives the service provider the information it needs to create the user account.

Configuring the Identity Management Integration

To configure JumpCloud 1 

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the Identity Management tab.
  3. You're prompted to authorize JumpCloud to access your Keeper organization. 

To configure Keeper

  1. Log in to your Keeper admin console.
  2. If you configured SSO, edit your SAML 2.0 with Cloud SSO Connect configuration and deselect the Enable Just-in-Time Provisioning option.
  3. Click on Provisioning.
  4. Select SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management) as your Provisioning Method. Leave this window open so you can go back to generate the token. 
  5. Click Next.
  6. Copy the Base URL.
  7. Click Generate.
  8. Copy the token and click Save. 

To configure JumpCloud 2

  1. Go back to your JumpCloud administrator portal.
  2. In the Keeper application window, select the Identity Management tab.
  3. Click Enable management of User Groups and Group Membership in this application if you want to provision, manage, and sync groups/teams.

  6. Paste the token into the Token Key field. 
  7. Click Activate. 
  8. You receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified and a Public Certificate is created. You can download the certificate from here.
  9. Click save.

Attribute Mappings

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

Learn about JumpCloud Properties and how they work with system users in our API. 

Keeper Security User Attributes

JumpCloud Property JumpCloud UI SCIM v2 Mapping Keeper Value
email Company Email emails: value email
email Company Email userName userName
displayname Display Name displayName displayName
firstname First Name name.givenName name.givenName
lastname Last Name name.familyName name.familyName

Group Attributes

JumpCloud Property JumpCloud UI Field Name SCIM v2 Mapping Application Value
name Name displayName Name

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.

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
  3. Search for the application and click to open its configuration panel. 
  4. Select the Identity Management tab.
  5. Click manual import.
  6. 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.

  1. 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
  1. 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.

SCIM Directory Insights Events
