Integrate Remote with Conditional 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 Remote.

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.
In the Cloud portal top menu, click on the Applications option.
On the Applications screen, click on the Add application button, and select the Add new SAML application option.
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 application section.
In the Application details section, enter an Application name and optionally a Description.

In this example, we used the name Remote for the new application configuration but you can use any name you like.
Keep this browser tab open. You will need it later.

In this section, you will access your Remote company settings and find the single sign-on (SSO) settings.

In another tab of your browser, open Remote by accessing the following URL: https://employ.remote.com/ and logging in.
From now on, we will call this tab the Remote tab.
In the left-hand side menu, in the Company section, click on the Company settings option.
In the Company settings pane, click on the Authentication tab.
In the SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) section, click on the Turn on Single Sign-On (SSO) button.

In this section, you will copy the values displayed in your Remote SSO setup section, and paste them in the relevant fields in Portnox Cloud.

In the Remote tab, click on the ⧉ icon next to the Audience field to copy the value to the clipboard.
In the Portnox tab, in the Application properties section, click on the empty field under the Entity ID / Service Provider Entity URL heading and paste the value copied from Remote.
In the Remote tab, click on the ⧉ icon next to the URL field to copy the value to the clipboard.

In the Portnox tab, in the Service details section, click on the ⧉ icon next to the Sign-In URL / SSO URL field to copy the value.
In the Remote tab, in step 4, click on the Identity provider URL field and paste the value copied from Portnox Cloud.
In the Portnox tab, in the Certificates > Signing certificates section, click on the ⋮ icon next to the Active certificate and select the Download certificate option to download the certificate to the local drive.
In the Remote tab, click on the Upload certificate button and select the certificate file that you downloaded from Portnox Cloud.
