Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- JumpCloud administrator account<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- JumpCloud SSO Package or higher or SSO \u00e0 la carte option<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lessonly user account with administrator permissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your Lessonly subdomain name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Important Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The JumpCloud administrator performing the integrations will only configure SSO for the IdP, or JumpCloud. After JumpCloud is configured, the administrator will send the IdP configuration details to Lessonly. Lessonly will configure the SAML 2.0 connection and contact the account administrator<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- SAML 2.0 Just-In-Time (JIT) user provisioning\u00a0is supported<\/strong> – this can be disabled by contacting\u00a0Lessonly support<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Once Single Sign-On is initiated for a company’s instance, the URL metadata file becomes a live URL and contains information including the requested nameIDFormat, the service provider callback URL, the issuer name, and the SAML version<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Identity Mangement isn’t supported at this time, due to the user ID being sent as an integer and not a string per SCIM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Creating a new JumpCloud Application Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to\u00a0USER AUTHENTICATION\u00a0<\/strong>>\u00a0SSO<\/strong> Applications<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click + Add New Application<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Type the name of the application in the Search <\/strong>field and select it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In the Display Label<\/strong>, type your name for the application. Optionally, you can enter a Description<\/strong>, adjust the User Portal Image and choose to hide or Show in User Portal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

- \n
- Optionally, expand Advanced Settings<\/strong> to specify a value for the SSO IdP URL<\/strong>. If no value is entered, it will default to https:\/\/sso.jumpcloud.com\/saml2\/<applicationname><\/kbd>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/p><\/div>Warning:<\/strong> \nThe SSO IdP URL<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Click Save Application<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If successful, click:\n

Configuring the SSO Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To configure JumpCloud<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Create a new application<\/a> or select it from the Configured Application<\/strong>s list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the SSO <\/strong>tab. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Replace all instances of <YOURDOMAIN> with your Lessonly subdomain name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Download the certificate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Find your application in the Configured Applications<\/strong> list and click anywhere in the row to reopen its configuration window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the SSO <\/strong>tab and click IDP Certificate Valid > Download certificate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/p><\/div>Tip:<\/strong> \nThe certificate.pem will download to your local Downloads<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
To configure Lessonly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Contact the Lessonly Support Team<\/a> and request that SAML single sign-on be enabled for your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- In your email, provide the following configuration details:\n
- \n
- nameIDFormat<\/strong> – emailAddress<\/kbd><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- SSO URL<\/strong> – provide the same IdP URL that you set in the JumpCloud console (if you did not modify the termination of this URL, then provide the default URL: https:\/\/sso.jumpcloud.com\/saml2\/lessonly<\/kbd>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Issuer<\/strong> – https:\/\/YOURDOMAIN.com<\/kbd>\u00a0(this should match the value you entered while configuring JumpCloud)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Certificate<\/strong> – attach the certificate downloaded in the previous section<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Authorizing User SSO Access<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
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<\/strong> panel or from the Groups Configuration<\/strong> panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To authorize user access from the Application Configuration panel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Log in to the <\/a>JumpCloud Admin Portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO<\/strong> Applications<\/strong>, then select the application to which you want to authorize user access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the User Groups<\/strong> tab. If you need to create a new group of users, see Get Started: User Groups<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the check box next to the group of users you want to give access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click save<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
To learn how to authorize user access from the Groups Configuration<\/strong> panel, see Authorize Users to an SSO Application<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Validating SSO user authentication workflow(s)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
IdP-initiated<\/strong> user workflow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Access the JumpCloud User Console<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to\u00a0Applications<\/strong> and click an application tile to launch it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- JumpCloud asserts the user’s identity to the SP and is authenticated without the user having to log in to the application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
SP-initiated<\/strong> user workflow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Go\u00a0to the SP application login – generally, there is either a special link or an adaptive username field that detects the user is authenticated through SSO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>Note:<\/strong> \n
This varies by SP.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Login redirects the user to JumpCloud where the user enters their JumpCloud credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- After the user is logged in successfully, they are redirected\u00a0back to the SP and automatically logged in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Removing the SSO Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
![](\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/important-icon.png\")
<\/p><\/div>Important:<\/strong> \nThese are steps for removing the integration in JumpCloud. Consult your SP’s documentation for any additional steps needed to remove the integration in the SP. Failure to remove the integration successfully for both the SP and JumpCloud may result in users losing access to the application.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
