Integrate JumpCloud with FileCloud

Before completing the following procedures, configure Apache Web Server. See SSO Configuration Step 1 on the page SAML Single Sign-On Support for configuration instructions.

As an administrator you can integrate these two systems so that your JumpCloud users can access their FileCloud account without having to enter their credentials a second time.

JumpCloud’s is a cloud-based platform

  • It enables IT teams to securely manage user identities
  • It connects teams them to resources they need regardless of provider, protocol, vendor, or location

In this integration scenario:

  • JumpCloud must be configured as an Identity Provider (IdP)
  • FileCloud will act as the Service Provider (SP)

Configure FileCloud with JumpCloud

  2. From the left navigation pane, click Applications.
  3. On the Applications screen, to add a new application, click the plus sign.

  2. Download the generated certificate.


  3. The saml.crt file must be copied into the correct location in the FileCloud root folder for your integration to work. Contact FileCloud support and request that your saml.crt file be copied into your Simple SAML certificate folder.
