JumpCloud - How do I link my account?
Overview
To authenticate with JumpCloud, you need:
- API Key - A key that grants Tenklo permission to interact with JumpCloud's API resources and services.
This guide will walk you through obtaining your API Key within JumpCloud.
Prerequisites:
- You must have a valid JumpCloud Administrator account
- Your account must have appropriate permissions to generate API keys
Instructions:
Step 1: Generate Your JumpCloud API Key
- Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal
- In the top-right corner, click on your account initials
- Select My API Key from the dropdown menu
- Click Generate New API Key to create a new API key
Important Security Notes:
- Generating a new API key will revoke access to the current API key
- This will render all existing integrations using the previous API key inaccessible
- Only administrators with appropriate roles can access the API
- Keep your API key secure and do not share it, as it grants full access to your JumpCloud instance
Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI
Once you have your API Key:
- Open the form where you need to authenticate with JumpCloud
- Enter your API Key in the respective field
- Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated
You are now connected to JumpCloud and can access both v1 and v2 API endpoints.
