RingCentral is a cloud-based business communication system with enterprise-grade voice, fax, text, online meetings, conferencing and collaboration (see https://www.ringcentral.ca). You can protect access to RingCentral by integrating RingCentral with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their RingCentral account through Identity as a Service.
Note: This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.13 and RingCentral Release December 2020. Other versions of Ring Central may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Ring Central, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating RingCentral. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
