Extend Crowd SSO

Question

Currenly we have Crowd in use with SSO enabled

We want to enable SSO with another third-party SSO provider while still managing groups and users in Crowd

This for: Hipchat, Confluence, JIRA, BitBucket, Bamboo, Crowd, Fisheye/ Crucible

Is is possible to write 1 custom plugin on Crowd? Or do we have to extend the Seraph Authenticator for JIRA, Confluenc and Bamboo as the other tools do not use Seraph and do more custom development for the other tools?

Hello Charlie!

We have many customers using netscaler successfully with our add-on Kantega Single Sign-on

The add-on extends Kerberos and SAML in combination or separately.

If you have any questions we are happy to answer your questions.

Lars, Kantega Single Sign-on

You're welcome. I'm not familiar with Netscaler but it sounds to me like a typical reverse proxy architecture. So your users will authenticate on the gateway that will then insert some user identity in the HTTP headers of the requests that will be forwarded to your final applications. Thus, I still think custom authenticators are the way to go (you will need to extract the user identity from the HTTP headers of the incoming requests).
