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)
