Important Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- After SSO is enabled, you can select the Allow logging with password<\/strong> option to allow logging in with username and password. If this option isn\u2019t selected, any attempts to use a username and password to log in to Abacus result in an error<\/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

<\/p><\/div>Note:<\/strong> \nIf this is a Bookmark Application, enter your sign-in URL in the Bookmark URL<\/strong> field.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\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
![](\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/warning-icon.png\")
<\/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

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
