SSO: Configuring JumpCloud for use with Kisi

SSO requires a Kisi Organization license. Please contact Kisi Support to learn more and upgrade your account.

This integration is exclusively for JumpCloud SSO. For importing users, please see JumpCloud SCIM or JumpCloud Directory.

Kisi supports SSO (Single Sign-On) with JumpCloud as a way of authentication for your Organization. Below are the steps to our self-service SSO configuration.

Setting up SSO with JumpCloud

To set up SSO, you must be the Kisi Organization Owner. For additional guidance on SSO setup, please refer to our Kisi API documentation.

1. Sign into JumpCloud and navigate to SSO
2. Click on the + sign and search for SAML 2.0 and select Configure
   
3. In the Details section, fill out the required fields under General Info and Single Sign-On Configuration, as shown below:

   • SP Entity ID: https://api.kisi.io/saml/metadata
   • ACS URL: https://api.kisi.io/saml/consume/<your-kisi-domain>. Every Organization in Kisi has a domain. It's an alphanumeric string that can also contain "-" character used to uniquely identify your organizations and required during signing in. If you do not remember your Kisi Domain, you can use Find My Organizations feature.
