how to update authentication methods via API / ansible

[Carter Stagg]

i am using jira 10.3 and i am wanting to create a script that automatically updates the authentication method when i deploy keycloak. I cant seem to find a way via the API to do this automatically. Is there a way to either update the database or using the API add an authentication method and fill out all the necessary information

Jira Data Center doesn’t expose an API for managing or updating authentication methods such as SAML, LDAP, or OAuth. Those configurations are handled internally by the embedded Crowd directory and stored in the database, so direct database edits aren’t supported or safe. The only supported way to automate authentication setup is through configuration files or provisioning tools before startup. For example, you can define SAML or OpenID Connect (Keycloak) parameters in `jira-config.properties` or use the [Atlassian SSO for Data Center](
