Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Jumpcloud

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: IBM AS/400 and Jumpcloud share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Jumpcloud is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. IBM AS/400 holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Journals and journal receivers, Data queues, Libraries, Physical files (tables) in IBM AS/400 with Systems (devices), System Groups, Applications (SSO), Policies in Jumpcloud field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • 02 Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.
  • 03 Two-way sync User Groups and their memberships between JumpCloud and a source-of-truth database so app, LDAP, and RADIUS access stays aligned with org data.
  • 04 Read Directory Insights events into Postgres or a warehouse for access reviews, login analytics, and SOC 2 audit evidence beyond JumpCloud's retention window.

Common sync patterns

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Jumpcloud land in IBM AS/400 as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

Keep group and role membership aligned

A group or role change made in either system updates the other, so the entitlements an application enforces match what the directory grants.

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Jumpcloud

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM AS/400 objects Jumpcloud objects How this pairing syncs
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Commands Scripts and commands run on managed systems; full CRUD via v1 /commands, then triggered on target systems and groups for automation and remediation. Logical files (views) is specific to IBM AS/400 and Commands to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Directory Insights events Audit stream of logins and admin actions across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, and MDM; read-only, queried by POST and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Members is specific to IBM AS/400 and Directory Insights events to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. System Users (Users) Directory user accounts (email, username, attributes, status, MFA, group and app bindings); full CRUD via the v1 /systemusers API - create, update, activate or suspend, and delete to match an HR or identity source. Rows / records is specific to IBM AS/400 and System Users (Users) to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. User Groups User groups that grant app, LDAP, and RADIUS access; created, updated, and deleted via v2 /usergroups, with membership managed through the graph association endpoints. Journals and journal receivers is specific to IBM AS/400 and User Groups to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Systems (devices) Enrolled macOS, Windows, and Linux machines running the JumpCloud agent; agent-enrolled, so the API reads, updates, and deletes systems for inventory and management rather than creating them. Data queues is specific to IBM AS/400 and Systems (devices) to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. System Groups Device groups used to scope policies, commands, and access; full CRUD via v2 /systemgroups, with systems bound and unbound through association endpoints. Libraries is specific to IBM AS/400 and System Groups to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM AS/400 and Jumpcloud

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

IBM AS/400 Jumpcloud Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM AS/400 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Jumpcloud through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Jumpcloud IBM AS/400 Sub-second propagation

DetectionJumpcloud notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No database-style change log.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM AS/400 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM AS/400: Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
  • Jumpcloud: JumpCloud rate-limits API requests and returns HTTP 429 (Rate limit exceeded) when a client sends requests too quickly; its guidance is to back off and retry at a lower rate. Specific per-minute ceilings are not published, and the Directory Insights API is metered separately. Webhook deliveries are retried three times with exponential backoff on 5xx, 408, or 429 responses.

Jumpcloud

Integration surface
JumpCloud REST API - v1 (console.jumpcloud.com/api) for Systems, System Users, and Commands; v2 (/api/v2) for User Groups, System Groups, Applications, Policies, and resource associations; plus the Directory Insights API (api.jumpcloud.com/insights/directory/v1/events) and Webhook Channels for outbound events.
Authentication
Admin API key sent in the x-api-key header (keys are prefixed jca_, generated in the console with a 30-365 day expiry, and disabled for admins by default until enabled); an x-org-id header scopes calls to a single organization for MSP multi-tenant admins. System Context authorization (HMAC-signed) also exists for agent-run calls.
Change detection
No database-style change log. The Directory Insights API is queried by POST for login and admin events across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, MDM, and directory services - including the association_change event that records user-to-group and policy-to-device membership changes; Webhook Channels tied to Insights Rules POST JSON to a registered endpoint for near-real-time triggers.
