How do I log in to Jira Core/helpdesk and Confluence all at once?

Matt DeLaCruz

We have purchased licenses for Jira Core/helpdesk, Confluence, and Hipchat.

When we go to the Jira address and sign in, we'd like to also be signed in already for Confluence(as well as Hipchat once we install it). Both of the applications are being authenticated by Active Directory, but we still have to log in twice.

I've found some single sign on documentation that discusses doing something like this with the application, "Crowd". Is there another way to do this without having to purchase an application license for yet another Atlassian product?

Thanks!

Hi Matt,

There are a lot of SSO options but there are usually costs associated. There is Crowd, as you mentioned: Single Sign-on Integration with the Atlassian stack and there are also several third party plugins that can be used: SSO plugins on Atlassian Marketplace. Finally, you may develop your own custom authenticator if you have the resources: Atlassian Seraph

I look forward to hearing which option works for your team.

Thanks,

Ann

Crowd is one option, another is to get SAML apps for each tool and use Active Directory Federation Services.

Thanks Ann!

So to be sure, the documentation found here:

Connecting Confluence to Jira applications for User Management

This is only for user management and if this particular option is used, it will not result in SSO. Is that correct? Thanks!

AnnWorley

It will not result in SSO, just a common user base and single source of user management.

Thank you Ann. We've now purchased the Crowd license and are ready to install it. I already have Jira Core/Helpdesk and Confluence installed on Server 2012.

What do you need to know to help me figure out which archive file to download and which guide should I follow? Thanks!
