Hi community,
in the next months, I plan to migrate our server-based instances of Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence to the Atlassian Cloud. I read already the one ore the other document, but I have a bit specific use-case, I like to share, hoping someone did that already earlier.
It is related to the User and Group Management.
Today (Atlassian Server):
We use an on-premisis Windows Active Directory (LDAPauth - read only, local groups) to perform the User Authentication. (Example of AD User is: fmueller)
Future (Atlassian Cloud):
We like to make use of the Azure-AD User Authentication (SSO), which we already have in place for other applications. Azure-AD and AD are not in sync. We like to get rid of the AD.
(Example of Azure-AD user is: fritz.mueller@domain.com)
It's clear, that we need to get the Atlassian Access product for the cloud applications, and to make the connection between Microsoft Azure-AD and Atlassian Access, there are documents how to do that.
My question is about the best sequence in the migration process.
Shall we change our server product user directory configuration to Azure-AD based user ..., upfront to the content migration?
Looking forward for your feedback.
Martin
