JIRA OnDemand and "Single Sign-On" authentication

William Ward

Currently OnDemand does not support LDAP. There are no specific mentions of OpenID, SAML or RESTful authentication options which would be a good alternative for enterprises such as mine.

Is there a method of provisioning and authenticating OnDemand users other than LDAP and other than manually managing users?

Not sure if this is relevant, but my company uses Okta, which is a homepage for single sign on to many services, including Jira.

Lauren quick question for you. Are you using an On-Demand Jira instance with Okta? Do you have to login to Jira after clicking on the link to Jira? Are your userids in an internal AD server or in Okta itself?

Lauren Larsson

Hi Dale,

Yes, we wre using Okta with on-demand. We do not have to log in to Jira after clicking the link. I am not sure where our signins are stored, but I can ask the IT team if it would help.

Dale Miller

Yes that would be appreciated. I am curious how they got it to work as Jira doesn't support SAML. Is there someone there I can talk to to ask a few questions?

Dear Dale,

I also need your help in implementation of SSO in ondemand instance of JIRA.PLease let me know what all information you need so i can get it done for my organistaion too.

The Okta single sign on Application only works with JIRA Server (On-Premises) that is using Crowd User management. This is noted in the Okta documentation here:

https://support.okta.com/articles/Knowledge_Article/29583593-Using-the-Jira-On-Premises-SAML-App
AND the Atlassian Integration Documentation Here:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Single+Sign-on+Integration+with+JIRA+and+Confluence
https://www.atlassian.com/software/crowd/overview

There are NOT currently any SSO/SAML options for JIRA cloud. The User-management system for JIRA cloud only has partial integration to google apps currently, but no cross platform login UM like LDAP integration or AD integration or systems like Okta.

There is however a feature Request Viewable HERE to SSO/SAML functionality into jira, But as noted on the Request in the most recent update to the banner:

We recognise your need for being able to integrate with SAML and it is something that we would like to eventually implement, but it is not something we're currently working on.

So, If SSO/SAML environment is curtail to your integration to JIRA the only option currently available is for self hosted JIRA Server installs.

Welcome!
