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
- Keeper requires a system running Keeper SSO Connect
- A Keeper Enterprise account
- A Keeper administrator account is required to complete setup
- A JumpCloud Administrator account.
Important Considerations
- Keeper SSO Connect requires exported metadata from JumpCloud to complete the Service Provider configuration.
- 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.
- At the moment of provisioning the username and email should match.
- 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 API accepts name.givenName and name.familyName attributes from SCIM schema but those values are not presented in the Keeper Admin Console
- Keeper SCIM API does not support the Enterprise schema attributes
- Any extra attributes sent to their API is just ignored
- 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.
Group Management Important 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.
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 its URL in the Bookmark URL field.
- Click Save Application.
- If successful, click:
- Configure Application and go to the next section.
- Close to configure your new connector at a later time.
