Integrate Lucidchart with Zero Trust Network Access

In this topic, you will find general instructions on how to integrate Lucidchart with Portnox™ Zero Trust Network Access.

Create a Portnox Cloud application configuration

In this step, you will create a configuration in Portnox Cloud that will contain all the information necessary to integrate with Lucidchart.

  1. In a new tab of your browser, open your Portnox Cloud account by accessing the following URL: https://clear.portnox.com/

    From now on, we will call this tab the Portnox tab.

  2. In the Cloud portal top menu, click on the Zero Trust Resources option.

  3. On the Resources screen, click on the Create resource button.

    1. In the What type of resource is this? section, select the SSO web application option.
    2. In the Authentication protocol section, select the SAML option.
    3. Click on the Next button.

  4. Optional: If you have more than one SAML identity provider configured, select the identity provider in the Select an identity provider to use for this resource section.
  5. In the Resource details section, enter a Resource name and optionally a Description.

    In this example, we used the name Lucidchart for the new application configuration but you can use any name you like.

  6. Keep this browser tab open. You will need it later.

Add a Lucidchart SAML integration

In this section, you will access your Lucidchart dashboard and add a SAML integration to connect to Lucidchart using SAML SSO.

  1. In another tab of your browser, open Lucidchart by accessing the following URL: https://lucid.app/.

    From now on, we will call this tab the Lucidchart tab.

  2. In the left-hand side menu, click on the Admin option.

  3. In the left-hand side menu of the Admin pane, click on the App integration option.

  4. In the App integrations pane, click on the SAML tile.

  5. In the Lucidchart sign in URL section, enter your company domain name in the Domain field, and then click on the Save changes button.

Export metadata from the Portnox tab and upload it in the Lucidchart tab

In this section, you will export the metadata from Portnox Cloud into a file and upload that file in the Lucidchart custom SAML setup section.

  1. In the Portnox tab, in the SAML metadata section, click on the Download metadata XML file link to download the XML file and save it to your local drive.

  2. In the Lucidchart tab, in the Identity providers section, click on the Add identity provider button and select the XML file downloaded from Portnox Cloud.

Copy the configuration values from the metadata file to the Portnox tab

In this section, you will download a metadata file from Lucidchart, copy the configuration values stored in this metadata file, and paste them in the relevant fields in Portnox Cloud.

  1. In the Lucidchart tab, in the Download service provider metadata section, click on the Download metadata button and save the metadata file on the local drive.

  2. Open the downloaded file (metadata.xml) in a browser.

    For example, in Windows, simply double click on the downloaded file.

  3. In the metadata content, find the <md:EntityDescriptor> element and its entityID attribute, and then copy its value (without the quotes) using your operating system’s copy shortcut.

  4. In the Portnox tab, in the Resource properties section, click on the empty field under the Entity ID / Service Provider Entity URL heading and paste the copied value.

  5. In the metadata content, find the <md:AssertionConsumerService> element and its Location attribute, and then copy its value (without the quotes).

  6. In the Portnox tab, in the Resource properties section, click on the empty field under the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL / Reply URL heading and paste the copied value.

Finalize the configuration

In this section, you will finalize the configuration in Portnox Cloud and Lucidchart.

  1. Finalize the configuration in the Portnox tab.
    1. Optional: Click on the Next button, and in the Policy enforcement section, in the Device risk assessment section, change the setting to Override with custom policy and then select a risk assessment policy if you want to assess risk with this application using a custom risk assessment policy, and in the Access control section, change the setting to Override with custom policy and then select an access control policy if you want to control access to this application using a custom access control policy.
    2. Scroll all the way down to the end of the page, and then click on the Add resource button.

  2. Finalize the configuration in the Lucidchart tab.
    1. Optional: In the Identity providers section, click on the Test SAML connection button to test if your configuration works correctly.
      Note:
      We recommend doing this before closing the browser window or logging out, to make sure that it is possible to log in using Zero Trust Network Access.

Result: You have configured Lucidchart to be accessible using Portnox Zero Trust Network Access.
