Connect Apps Using Bookmarks

Use Application Bookmarks to connect users to resources that don’t support SAML Single Sign On (SSO). These would include LDAP-based applications, the company intranet, applications serviced through a password manager, and services connected to JumpCloud through directory integrations, like G suite, Microsoft Office 365, or Active Directory. This is one way to communicate to your users all the resources they have access to, including those using their JumpCloud password.

Configuring a Bookmark

To connect an application using a Bookmark

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to USER AUTHENTICATION > SSO Applications.
  3. Click + Add New Application.
  4. Click Select in the Custom Application tile, enter a name for the new application and then click Next.

Tip:

You can also find the Bookmark connector by searching for it. 

  1. Select Add a Bookmark (no SSO) and click Next.
  2. Enter a Display Label.
    • Users will see this display name for the bookmark in their User Portal, and Administrators will see it in the Configured Applications list view on the SSO page.
