Registering with JumpCloud creates your ‘secure tenant’ in our cloud-based infrastructure. In the modern cloud era, we believe that the concept of the domain has changed. The assumption that a user will be logging into a network on-prem, with all of a user’s IT resources hosted there, is no longer reality.

As a result, JumpCloud focuses on securely connecting users to the IT resources they need whether the resources are located on-prem, in the cloud, or remote. It also doesn’t matter where the user is. JumpCloud in a sense creates a ‘virtual domain’ where the user is connected to whatever they have rights to, but those connections span locations, providers, protocols, and platforms.

Your JumpCloud tenant manages the core identities and other data related to your organization. IT resources are then bound to and authenticated against your tenant through a wide variety of protocols, including agent-based Windows/Mac/Linux system authentication, LDAP, RADIUS, SAML for application and network resources and REST APIs to do custom integrations to other resources.
