Integrate with Splashtop

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

Prerequisites

  • A JumpCloud administrator account
  • JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO à la carte option
  • A Splashtop account with the Owner role
  • A Splashtop Enterprise Plan

Important Considerations

  • SSO is required for Identity Management. Contact Splashtop to subscribe to the SSO feature.
  • If you need to update your token, you must deactivate the IdM integration, update the token, and then reactivate the IdM integration.
  • Users who are suspended or have been removed from all user groups associated with the Splashtop integration in JumpCloud will still show as ‘active’ in Splashtop. These users will no longer be synced though.
  • Deleting a user who is part of one or more groups associated with Splashtop in JumpCloud will also delete the user in Splashtop.
  • We recommend adding a user to only one Splashtop managed group in JumpCloud, because a user can’t be a member of multiple synced groups in Splashtop. If a user is a member of more than one group managed by JumpCloud, the user will only be added to the most recently created JumpCloud managed group. If the most recently created JumpCloud managed group is deleted, the user will be moved to the second most recently created JumpCloud managed group of which the user is a member, and so on. If all JumpCloud managed groups of which a user is a member are deleted, the user will be added to the default group in Splashtop and remain active, but will no longer be managed by JumpCloud.
  • Users cannot be filtered by email.
  • The HTTP PATCH method is not supported.
  • The HTTP DELETE method works as a “hard delete” and wipes the user from the account.The same happens with groups
  • The HTTP PUT method doesn’t support the update of the “activate” user attribute, therefore when the user is deactivated in JumpCloud it will still appear as activate in the Splashtop account but the user won’t be updated or managed from JumpCloud unless it’s reactivated by the admin.

Attribute Considerations

A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.

  • You must add a constant attribute ssoName to the SSO configuration in JumpCloud. The value must match the SSO Name value set in Splashtop. This value will be passed as a user attribute. Users and groups can’t be provisioned without this value.

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.

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

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.
