SSo for Jira in the Cloud: Why would I need to claim a domain for SSO?

[brett lutkehus]

We configure SSO on every cloud app the org uses, and never have to claim a domain as specified in the documentation.  Or Enterprise has several disparate instances of Jira across multiple departments, and there is no interest in consolidating these into a single instance due to data separation needs.   There should be no need to claim a domain, as we are not using the domain in the URL or access, and it is not needed in the SAML or OAUTH claims process.

Hi Brett,

I don't have a good answer for you right off hand, but curious if there is a reason that it would be a problem for you to claim the domain? 

[brett lutkehus]

doing so would likely lock any of our other instances from using SSO

[brett lutkehus]

because they would not be able to claim the domain

Gotcha. Sounds like you should investigate an Enterprise subscription with Atlassian then.
