SAML Authentication

Question

Hi,

In our organization, We use local accounts for Authentication. Now we are switching to ADFS using SAML. Once we make Switch what happens to the Users, Projects, Boards, Documentation . Can I still login to the Jira and Confluence?

Hi @Jon Espen Ingvaldsen       Kantega SSO  Thanks for your reply

What happens if we want to change usernames (i.e, Organization ID)

Hi @Jagapathi Raju Maddiboyina .

This should go fine as long as the usernames are the same. If you are on server or datacenter and setup SAML through a third-party add-on, you should also be able to transform the username (apply regex or strip of the @domain part) to construct matching usernames.

Good luck!
