Integrate Zoom with Zero Trust Network Access

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

Note:
Single sign-on integration is only available for Paid plans with a minimum of 10 Hosts, for example, Zoom Business or Education. To activate single sign-on, you must first configure a vanity URL for Zoom (your_company.zoom.us) and have an approved associated domain (your company domain).

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 Zoom.

  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 Zoom for the new application configuration but you can use any name you like.

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

Open your Zoom SSO settings

In this section, you will access your Zoom administrative interface and find the settings for single sign-on (SSO).

  1. In another tab of your browser, open your Zoom single sign-on configuration page by accessing the following URL: https://zoom.us/account/sso

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

    Note:
    You can also start from your main dashboard, and then select the following options in the left-hand menu in the ADMIN section: Advanced > Single Sign-On.
  2. Optional: If this is your first time setting up single sign-on in Zoom, click on the Enable Single Sign-On button.

    Note:
    This button is missing if your current Zoom plan does not support single sign-on.
