Importing users from LDAP to JIRA

Question

Hi,

I have some questions about importing users from LDAP to JIRA (ver. 4.4.3).

According this HOWTO http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Importing+user+from+LDAP

1. If LDAP user is in group "Group_1" and "Group_2", will be also new groups "Group_1" and "Group_2" created in JIRA and user assigned to these groups?

2. If it is possible, can I configure this assign action by some parameters, like group LDAP vs. JIRA mapping, eg: "Group_1" -> "jira-users"?

3. If groups are not created, exist some other way, how do this?

According to my understanding about your last comment, our application does not create such groups as default. You can create this group in your LDAP search and add this group to such users, and in this way you don't need to worry about that.

If you want to select just a few LDAP groups to synchronize with your Jira, you can try elaborate search filter:

Thanks for response, my question was not when JIRA will not create groups, but if she creates them by default and if some group mapping is possible.

Anyway I can modify import utility generating jelly script and integrate new LDAP x JIRA group logic options (like group mapping, group creation, assign user into group) into this tool.

Hi Xrakan,

I guess you are trying to import groups from LDAP into Jira while importing users. Jira will not create JIRA groups to match LDAP groups if you use the setting "Read Only, with Local Groups". Just check with LDAP permissions.

Also can you in the Group Object Filter and LDAP filter so that they match exactly, which may import groups from LDAP into Jira .
