Integrating JumpCloud SAML SSO with Dialpad

Use JumpCloud SAML Single Sign On (SSO) to give Dialpad users convenient and secure access with a single set of credentials. 

Let's dive into the details.

Enable SAML in Dialpad

First things first, you'll need to enable SAML in Dialpad.

Head to your Admin Settings from Dialpad.com 

1. Select My Company 
2. Select Authentication
3. Select SAML
4. Navigate to Choose your provider 
5. Select Custom
   
6. Take note of the values for SP SSO Url (ACS) and SP Entity ID
   1. The values will differ based on the domain identifier of your company.
   2. Keep this tab open — we'll revisit this page after configuring SAML on JumpCloud.

2. Select Authentication
3. Select SAML
4. Populate the IdP related attributes retrieved from the previous section (IdP Entity ID, IdP SSO URL and Certificate)

Setting up SAML users 

Now that SSO has been configured, its time to set up the users. 

1. Login as an administrator in JumpCloud
2. Select User Groups
3. Select a group
4. Navigate to the Applications tab
5. Select the Dialpad SSO application
    
6. Log in to JumpCloud using a non-admin test account (picked from the above group) using another browser profile/session 
   1. The Dialpad application should be listed under Applications
      
7. Using the same test user’s browser session, navigate to Dialpad Login in a different tab 
8. Select Login with Another Provider

   
   

   
9. Enter the domain of the user
10. Select Next

After a few redirections, the user should now be logged in to Dialpad.

Enforcing SAML-based SSO 

Add an extra level of security by blocking your users from using other SSO providers when logging into Dialpad. 

To restrict the use of other authentication providers, navigate to your Admin Settings at Dialpad.com

1. Select My Company
2. Select Authentication
3. Select SAML
4. Select Prevent users from logging in with other SSO providers
   
5. Select Save 

Once saved, your users won't be able to use Microsoft and Google SSO (or even their username and password) to log in to Dialpad.
