JumpCloud SSO login: Configure JumpCloud as an IDP

---

miniOrange SSO solution allows you to login to any of your applications/websites using JumpCloud as IdP (Identity Provider). In this guide we will go through step-by-step instructions on how to configure SSO between an application and JumpCloud by configuring JumpCloud as an Identity Provider and your application as a Service Provider. miniOrange SSO solution also acts as an identity broker for cross protocol authentication, which means Service Provider following a particular SSO protocol can connect to an Identity Provider following some different SSO protocol like SAML,OAuth etc. Once configured successfully you will be ready to securely access your website/application using JumpCloud IDP.

Prerequisite:

• To get started you need to have an active JumpCloud account with administrator rights for your organization.
• Get the miniOrange SP metadata that you will require in the first step. For this, go to the miniOrange Admin Console >> Identity Providers >> Add Identity provider >> SAML Tab. Then click on the Click here link.



• Click on Show metadata Details under For SP - Initiated SSO. Click on Download Metadata. You will require this in JumpCloud console at Step 1.

2. Configure JumpCloud as Identity Provider (IDP) in miniOrange

• Go back to the miniOrange admin console.

3. Configure your application in miniOrange

• Login to miniOrange Admin Console.
• Go to Apps >> Add Application.

• SAML Application
• OAuth Application
• JWT Application

• Click on Create App under SAML.



• Search for your Application. In case you do not find your app, search for Custom SAML App.





• Get the ACS URL and SP Entity ID from your application.
• Enter the following values OR click on Import SP Metadata:

Login Method	Password

• Click on Save to configure your application.
• Now to get the IDP metadata of the app configured, Go to apps >> your_app >> select >> metadata tab.



• Click on the Show Metadata details in the Information required to Authenticate via External IDPs section. Download the metadata XML file by clicking on Download Metadata button or copy the Metadata URL link.



• You need to Upload this metadata in your application.

• Click on Create App under OAuth/OIDC. Click on Open ID Connect App .



• You can add any OAuth Client app here to enable miniOrange as OAuth Server. Few popular OAuth client apps for single sign-on are Salesforce, WordPress, Joomla, Atlassian, etc.





• Enter following Values:

Client Name	Add appropriate Name
Redirect URL	Get the Redirect-URL from your OAuth Client
Description	Add if required
Group Name	Default
Policy Name	As per your Choice
Login Method	Password

• Click on Save
• Now to provide the required data to OAuth client go to the app configured i.e apps >> your_app >> select >> edit.






Note: Choose the Authorization Endpoint according to the identity source you configure.

• When you want to use you want to use miniOrange as OAuth identity server use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/moas/idp/openidsso
• If you are configuring any Identity Provider in Identity Providers Menu and not using miniOrange as IDP use this endpoint: https://{mycompany.domainname.com}/broker/login/oauth{customerid}

• Click on Create App under JWT.



• Select JWT App.



• Configure the name for your application and configure Redirect-URL which tells where to send JWT response. Redirect-URL should be an endpoint on your application where you want to achieve SSO.




In case you are setting up SSO with Mobile Applications where you can't create an endpoint for Redirect or Callback URL, use below URL.

https://login.xecurify.com/moas/jwt/mobile


• Click Save
• To get the SSO link for your application, Go to Apps >> your_app >> select >> Edit.



• Then, copy the Single Sign On Url and verify SSO setup by browsing that url.



• On successful authentication, you will be redirected to configured Redirect or Callback URL with JWT token
• You will need to download a certificate from App > Manage Apps, and click Certificate link against your configured application. This certificate will be used for signature validation of JWT response.

4. Setup Multiple IDPs (Optional)

• You can configure multiple IDPs (Identity Providers) and give users the option to select the IDP of their choice to authenticate with.
  For Example - It could be multiple AD domains belonging to different departments or multiple okta organizations.

Few usecases where customers configure multiple IDPs -


• Suppose you have a product which many of your clients use and each client has their own unique IDP so you want them to SSO into your product as well using their existing IDP only. miniOrange provides a centralized way to connect with all IDPs in a very easy manner and integrate SSO into your application.
• Suppose you are providing a course to many universities, each having a unique SAML, OAuth protocol supported IDP's like Shibboleth, ADFS, CAS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into your course application to all these universities by integrating with all of them using a single platform provided by miniOrange.
• This is the endpoint to call from your SAML application -

For Cloud IDP -	https://login.xecurify.com/moas/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>
For On-Premise IDP -	https://yourdomain.com/discovery?customerId=<customer_id>



• You should copy the Customer Key from admin console-> Settings -> and replace it with <customer_id> here. Once configured in SP, when you initiate the login from Service Provider, a user will be redirected to IDP Selection Page listing all IDPs configured for that account.

You can see the screenshot below of the IDP Selection Page with a list of IDPs.




Note: To view the IDP in drop-down list, go to Identity Providers tab > against your configured IDP > Select >Edit , here Enable the Show IdP to Users option.
