Integrate with Nintex Process Manager (formerly Promapp)

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

Prerequisites

  • A JumpCloud administrator account.
  • JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO add-on feature.
  • A Process Manager user account with Promaster privileges.
  • Your Process Manager region, subdomain and company name.

Important Considerations

  • SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.
  • When assigning a user to Process Manager, you must select any valid application-specific role (if available) in the assignment dialog. Users with the Default Access role are excluded from provisioning.
  • The Sync Password setting is not supported by Process Manager.
  • The Promaster must generate the SCIM access token in Nintex Process Manager.
  • Each Promaster for an organisation can generate only one SCIM access token.
  • If you need to update the SCIM token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the integration.
  • Groups are not supported. 

Attribute Considerations

  • A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
  • The following attributes are not supported by JumpCloud:
    • roles
    • profileURL

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.
  5. Click Next.
  6. 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.

Note:

If this is a Bookmark Application, enter your sign-in URL in the Bookmark URL field.

  1. 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>.

Warning:

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.

  1. Click Save Application.
  2. If successful, click:
    • Configure Application and go to the next section
    • Close to configure your new application at a later time

Configuring the SSO Integration

To configure JumpCloud

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the SSO tab.
  3. Replace any instances of YOUR_REGION, COMPANY_NAME, and YOUR_SUBDOMAIN with your Process Manager information.
  4. Add or change any attributes.
  5. Click save.

To configure Process Manager

Contact your Nintex Process Manager Account Manager to discuss enabling SSO for your organisation or contact Nintext Support. Once the options have been discussed, we will enable SSO for your Nintex Process Manager site, ready to be configured.

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

Configuring the Identity Management Integration

To configure Process Manager

  1. In Process Manager, click the profile name drop-down list and then click My Profile.
  2. In the Access Tokens section, click Create Token.
  3. Type a value in the Description field.
  4. Select SCIM from the Scope drop-down list.
  5. Click save. The SCIM access token is created and displayed on the page.

Warning:

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

  1. Create a new application or select it from the Configured Applications list.
  2. Select the Identity Management tab.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. In the Token Key field, paste the SCIM token you generated in the previous section.
  5. Click save.
  6. You will receive a confirmation that the Identity Management integration has been successfully verified.
  7. You can now connect user groups to the application in JumpCloud to provision the members of that group in Process Manager. Learn how to Authorize Users to an Application.

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. 

Process Manager User Attributes

JumpCloud Property JumpCloud UI Field Name SCIM v2 Mapping Process Manager Attribute
username Username userName UserName
firstname First Name name.givenName First name
lastname Last Name name.familyName Last name
email Company Email emails.value Email address
active Status active active

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.
