PulseSecure VPN SSO App Integration

    Set up a PulseSecure VPN SSO app integration so that your users can sign into this app using the same credentials that they use for LastPass.

    Part 1 - Add the SSO app to LastPass

    1. Log in and access the LastPass new Admin Console by doing either of the following:
      • While logged in to LastPass, click the active LastPass icon active LastPass icon in your web browser toolbar, then select Admin Console in the menu.
      • Log in at https://admin.lastpass.com with your admin email address and master password.
    2. Go to Applications > SSO apps.
    3. Select Add app in the upper-right navigation (or Search the catalog if you're adding your first app).
    4. Search for and select your app from the catalog (or Add an unlisted app if you can't find your app).
    5. Click Continue, and you are taken to the Set up LastPass section of the app configuration.

      Fastpath: LastPass automatically fills out all required information in the Set up app section for you. Some apps allow you to upload settings in an XML file, while others require you to copy and paste the following information:
      Name in LastPass Value
      Entity ID 
      https://identity.lastpass.com
      SSO Endpoint 
      https://identity.lastpass.com/SAML/SSOService
      Logout URL 
      https://identity.lastpass.com/Login/Logout
      Certificate fingerprint Provided in the Set up app section of the SSO app. If needed, download the LastPass certificate in PEM, DER, or Download metadata (XML) format.
      Certificate fingerprint (SHA256)
      Certificate (PEM)

    6. For the next steps, open a new web browser window or tab. Go to the app's settings to enable single sign-on, and make sure your app recognizes LastPass as the Identity Provider.
