Using Jumpcloud as an IdP and MDM with M365 and Google Workspace


SMEs need one thing above all: simple, secure and Jumpcloud & Google Workspace & M365cost-effective architecture approaches so that IT becomes an enabler rather than a spoiler.

At Rheintec, we deliver exactly that with architecture concepts that are unmatched in the market, with the goal of helping our customers lead the competition through secure digitalization.

Jumpcloud offers a very strong solution for mapping many identity and device management use cases such as NAC, LDAP, single sign-on and application and device management in a central cloud solution.

What this is all about

  • We integrate Jumpcloud as a central IdP and device management
  • We simplify device management for multi-platform environments (Windows, Linux & MacOS)
  • We enable device login on any platform via the IdP
  • We simplify multi-factor authentication with the Jumpcloud Agent

Why this combination

A brief look at the key data and function is necessary:

Jumpcloud as user directory and IdP:

  • Is the only IdP solution on the market with the ability to natively integrate with both Google Workspace and M365 cloud directories.
  • Simplifies conditional access and MFA with the integrated agent.
  • Is the only IdP that allows a native cloud radius server, which can be addressed for NAC with 802.1.x, for example
  • Has a cloud-based LDAP(s) connector and simplifies the legacy connection of servers
  • Easy to implement RBAC model
    by binding access to SaaS applications to groups that can be easily requested in a portal by users with a predefined approval process

Jumpcloud as MDM:

  • Enables the simple but powerful management of a hybrid device landscape with Windows, MacOS and Linux
  • Enables device login with the IdP user on all platforms
  • Simple application & patch management for all platforms

Architecture in interaction with M365 and Google Workspace

Architektur Workshop Template - Jumpcloud

Jumpcloud is implemented as a central IdP and as a mobile device management solution for the infrastructure. It manages all devices including Macs, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS and manages their applications, configuration and patch management.

In addition, a local network is connected here in the example by integrating NAC from the (license-free) Ubiquiti SD-WAN gateways for device authentication in the local network via 802.1.X with the Jumpcloud Cloud Radius Server. No license costs for NAC, no local forwarders or Radius servers!

Because many enterprise applications with older software versions still historically like to use LDAP, they can securely terminate against the Jumpcloud LDAP server via the Internet. This means that a company no longer needs local Active Directories or LDAP servers!

Google Workspace or M365 can be natively integrated into Jumpcloud to synchronize user directories with each other. Changes to users, groups and permissions can be configured and managed centrally in Jumpcloud and are automatically synchronized to all connected directories.
