Setting up DeepDyve on JumpCloud SSO

If your organization uses JumpCloud for Single Sign On (SSO), here is how you can set up DeepDyve in your system. It takes roughly 5 minutes to complete. If you aren't comfortable following the set up on your own, ask your DeepDyve account manager to book a time where you can screenshare with us, and we can guide you through it.


  1. Go to https://console.jumpcloud.com/ and log in as an admin.
  2. Navigate to “SSO Applications" on the left sidebar.
  3. Click on blue-green button on the upper left: "Add New application".
  4. On the “Create New Application Integration” page, click on the “Select” link beneath the “Custom Application” tile in the lower right corner:

  1. Click the “Next” button in the lower right corner.
  2. On the following screen, select “Manage Single Sign-On (SSO)” and “Configure SSO with SAML”. Click Next.
  3. On “Enter general info” enter this information:

    • Description: Your one-stop literature management solution, powered by AI
    • Logo: Add DeepDyve's logo, available here
