There's a bug in the Okta authorisation addon, or your configuration is wrong.

I'd start by going over https://support.okta.com/entries/29583593-Using-the-Jira-On-Premises-SAML-App and making sure you have followed the instructions exactly.

Marco Parra1

Thank you, I was able to solve this issue, I moved the okta-config-jira.xml to another folder, and restarted JIRA, and that's worked for us. Thank you.

Hi Marco, I want to do the Okta-Jira integration in my company. Can you kindly point me to the documentation links as to how I get started? Currently, we have the "LDAP Sync" User Directory setp in our prod Jira. Thanks, Srini schimata2@gmail.com

Srinivas Chimat

Hi Marc or Nick,

The instruction don't say clearly as to where to save this okta-config-jira.xml (whether in to lib folder or classes folder).. all it says at one point is on "save it on JIRA server" and another point " save in to <okta-directory-on-Jira-server>, for examaple /opt/okta.

What is this <okta-directory-on-Jira-server>??? The document doesn't say any thing about this directory.

It is very frustrating to follow it. Can one of you kindly get back to me?

Thanks,
Srini

Hi Srini,

sorry for the delay, you should put the okta-config-jira.xml file on your Catalina's JIRA home folder.

You could get this value on your JIRA's site:

https://yours-jira-site-running.com/secure/admin/ViewSystemInfo.jspa

on side the of JVM Input Arguments, you should see something like this:

.... -Dcatalina.home=JIRA_PATH -D morejava values.............

so, you must put your config file on:

JIRA_PATH\atlassian-jira\

for my case:

-Dcatalina.home=D:\JIRA_Application\jira.mycompany.com

so I put my okta-config-jira.xml at \JIRA_Application\jira.mycompany.com\atlassian-jira\ folder.

I hope helps you.

Regards.

P.S.: don't forget restart your JIRA instance.

Daniel Kuźba

Thank You.

I am also able to resolve it by providing full address of xml

<authenticator class="com.atlassian.confluence.authenticator.okta.OktaConfluenceAuthenticator">
<init-param>
<param-name>okta.config.file</param-name>
<param-value>/opt/atlassian/confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/okta-config-confluence.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
</authenticator>
