Hi,
We are planning the deployment architecture for Atlassian suite for our enterprise.
We will have both employees and non-employee users using the Atlassian Suite.
One possible configuration that we are favoring is that we will use OpenLDAP to maintain users and groups. We will create 2 different OUs or branches in LDAP and possibly have replication at LDAP to other geographies.
Our concierge uses JIRA for creating users and groups, right now. We are wondering if we can continue to use JIRA in the below scenario to be the user interface for managing users and groups.
1 LDAP
connected user |
JIRA -----------> Crowd ---------> Dir1-------> Branch for employees
| | |
| | | | (mapping)
| |group | /
| -------| Branch for groups
| -------|
| | group| | (mapping)
| | | /
|-----------> Dir2-------> Branch for non-employees
user
Now, if we give JIRA application privileges to Crowd for creating users and therefore to LDAP, does that mean that if we create/manage users and groups and memberships they will be created properly in LDAP?
If not, what is the best user interface you can propose for easily creating users and groups and memberships in atlassian suite to the OpenLDAP Directory.
We are using JIRA, Confluence, Fisheye and doing SSO with Crowd. We are open to deploying any plugins (like Teem) that will help in managing users and groups and memberships for the whole suite.
