Crowd / Shibboleth Module installation

Question

Hi,

I downloaded, compiled, and deployed (from the README directions) the Atlassian-recommended Crowd Shibboleth Module listed at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-75. At least I think I did, I had to stumble my way through it because there are no real directions.

I can't seem to find any directions for configuring Crowd to use it. I am not sure if I am suppose to add it as a "Delegated Authentication" or "Connector" directory (I don't see any new ones listed for either) or something else?

Maybe this doesn't work for Crowd 2.7 at all?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks!

Matt

I too would like to see someone explain the full steps. We are trying something similar. One other problem we are facing. How do you handle SAML and non-SAML users? For example, using SAML for internal employees is great. But let's say you are an external customer who is currently authenticating against a local crowd directory? How do they log into jira with their local credentials, and other people use SAML? Is it possible to fail SAML and fall into the other authentication mode? Any tips appreciated. Whether that means getting creative with apache redirects or whatever.

Matt,

Any chance you could provide instruction on how to setup SSO in Crowd using the Shib? We use PingFederate SSO, so am wondering if we could utilize same setup to authenticate against that?

Thanks,
John
