People Sign In With Their Idaptive Login
Your team signs in to Files.com with their Idaptive login, under the same sign-in rules Idaptive applies everywhere else. There's no separate setup to keep up for file transfer.
Put File Transfer Behind Your Idaptive Access Policy
Connect Idaptive to Files.com over SAML 2.0 and your team signs in with the login they already have, under the same sign-in rules Idaptive enforces everywhere else. New people get access automatically; people who leave lose it automatically. And Files.com adds folder-level control and a full record on top.
Why Security-Led Teams Put Files.com in Front of Idaptive
Idaptive is the sign-in service now under CyberArk, formerly the Centrify identity service — company logins with MFA and device checks. When file transfer has to sit behind that same sign-in policy, Files.com connects over standard SAML 2.0 and syncs over SCIM, so file access follows Idaptive's logins and rules directly.
New People Get Access, Departing People Lose It
Add someone in Idaptive and they get Files.com access right away — over the web, SFTP, and the Desktop App at once. Turn them off in Idaptive and their access is gone. (This is SCIM doing the work.) Correct on day one, gone the day they leave.
Pay Only for People Who Sign In
You can sync your whole Idaptive directory into Files.com without paying for everyone in it. A seat only counts once a person signs in for the first time. People who never log in cost nothing.
Keep Your MFA Rules in Idaptive
Idaptive runs its MFA and device checks before a person ever reaches Files.com. For outside accounts Idaptive doesn’t manage, Files.com adds its own 2FA — and that second factor also covers FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.
Connects Over Standard SAML 2.0
Files.com connects to Idaptive over SAML 2.0 — the same standard sign-in method (and the one that carries the automatic SCIM sync) that every other SAML provider uses. Nothing special to build.
Idaptive Handles the Login; Files.com Handles What They Reach
Idaptive confirms who is signing in, and how strongly. It doesn't decide which folders that person can touch, or record what they do. Files.com adds that part — nine levels of access, per person or group, folder by folder, with every sign-in, sync, and permission change in the audit log.
Set Who Can Reach Which Folders
Nine levels of access, per person or group, folder by folder — with the ability to block a folder and to fence off admins. Your Idaptive groups feed straight into it, so you still manage access from the directory you already run.
A Clear Record of Every Provisioning Event
Every create, update, and removal Idaptive sends is written to a detailed SCIM Log in plain JSON. If a new account didn't show up the way you expected, you can see exactly what Idaptive sent and why.
A Record of Everything That Happens
Every sign-in, sync, and permission change is logged and exportable — the kind of record a security team expects once people are working inside the files.
Two-Factor for Accounts Idaptive Doesn't Manage
Require Files.com 2FA — a hardware key or an authenticator app — on partners and outside accounts that aren't in Idaptive, and that requirement holds over their FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV connections.
The Details That Matter for Idaptive
Idaptive Handles the Whole Account Lifecycle
With SCIM 2.0, Idaptive creates, updates, and turns off Files.com users on its own. A change in Idaptive shows up in file access without anyone touching Files.com.
Or Let Accounts Create Themselves on First Login
If you don't turn on SCIM, Files.com makes an account the first time someone signs in (JIT). It can't remove people later, so turn on SCIM when you need departing users shut off automatically.
Two-Factor Reaches SFTP, Not Just the Browser
For accounts Idaptive doesn't manage, Files.com 2FA — a hardware key or an authenticator app, with SMS and email as backups — covers FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV, not only the website.
Connect More Than One Idaptive Instance
You can connect several Idaptive instances to a single Files.com site — handy when separate business units run their own.
Connect Idaptive the Way That Fits Your Workload
SSO With SAML
This is the main connection. Set Files.com up as an app in Idaptive over SAML, then point Files.com back at Idaptive. Now your team signs in with their Idaptive login, and this same connection carries SCIM.
Automatic Provisioning With SCIM
Turn on SCIM from Idaptive to have it create, update, and remove Files.com users by itself and keep groups in sync. This is what shuts off access automatically when someone leaves.
Accounts on First Login (JIT)
Nothing extra to set up — this is what runs when SCIM is off. An account is made the first time a person signs in. Good for getting started fast; it can't remove people, so add SCIM when you need that.
What Teams Build With Idaptive on Files.com
Signing In Through Idaptive
A person clicks Sign in with Idaptive on the Files.com login page, confirms their identity through Idaptive, and lands in their account. No separate password.
A New Hire Is Set Up Automatically
When you assign someone to Files.com in Idaptive, SCIM creates their account, drops them in the right groups, and applies their folder permissions — all before they sign in.
A Departing Person Is Cut Off
Turn someone off in Idaptive and the next sync shuts off their Files.com account across the web, SFTP, and the Desktop App.
Idaptive MFA for Staff, Files.com 2FA for Partners
Idaptive runs its MFA for your own staff. Partner accounts you create in Files.com can be required to use Files.com 2FA, and that holds over their SFTP connections.
