Installing the JumpCloud Agent

In all JumpCloud Agent installation scenarios the JumpCloud Connect Key is required and is the mechanism that registers a JumpCloud system to a specific JumpCloud organization.

JumpCloud Connect Keys are unique to each JumpCloud organization but not unique for each JumpCloud agent install.

The JumpCloud Connect Key can be found within the JumpCloud admin console by navigating to the 'Systems' tab and selecting the green plus in the top left corner of the screen.

  • Here administrators will find their JumpCloud Connect Key and download links to installation media for installing the JumpCloud agent.

The JumpCloud Agent can be Installed via the Command-Line on Mac, Windows, and Linux or Deployed using a Template or System Image

Expert Advice:

  • The JumpCloud Connect Key can only be used to install the JumpCloud agent and does not need to be protected and secured like a JumpCloud API Key.

  • If your end users have administrative rights on their systems you can share your organizations JumpCloud Connect Key with them and provide them with the JumpCloud agent installation media to allow them to install the JumpCloud Agent and add their systems to your JumpCloud organization.
