SSO Integration with JIRA 7.2

[Mark H_ Williams]

We have a custom authenticator for our JIRA instances that implements the CrowdAuthenticator class. As of JIRA 7.2 the included seraph library has been updated to version 2.8.8 which has a new CrowdAuthenticator constructor. Previously I was able to do something like this:

public class CustomJiraAuthenticator extends CrowdAuthenticator {
	public CustomJiraAuthenticator() {
		super(RestCrowdHttpAuthenticationFactory.getAuthenticator());
	}
}

But now CrowdAuthenticator takes two arguments (CrowdHttpAuthenticator and Supplier<CrowdService>). How can I get the Supplier<CrowdService>?

Hi Mark,

I believe you could try to do something like that:

public class CustomJiraAuthenticator extends CrowdAuthenticator {
    public CustomJiraAuthenticator() {
        super(RestCrowdHttpAuthenticationFactory.getAuthenticator(), () -> ComponentAccessor.getComponent(CrowdService.class));
    }
}

BTW are you using JIRA Data Center offering? If yes you could try out SAML / SSO for Data Center add-on provided by Atlassian.

Cheers,

Marcin
