Single Sign On to a Confluence Site coming from ASP.NET MVC site

Question

A subset of users of an existing asp.net mvc site need to be able to access our cloud-hosted confluence site - hosted in atlassian.net.

We need to be able take one of our users, who only exist in a local SQL Server DB for our asp.net mvc site and do the following:

1. Create a user account for them in confluence

2. Log them into that site automatically

Since I'm new to this world of Atlassian Confluence, I'm wondering what options exist.

Is there some way to do this without modifying the default out-of-the-box configuration of the confluence site? Or do I need to implement a custom Seraph Authenticator and install that on the atlassian site somehow?

I'm familiar with OpenID Connect, is there some way to integrate using OAuth2 / OpenID Connect? Or do I have to use Seraph for authentication?

Hi Aaron,

So, for the Cloud hosted options at atlassian.net  you can use Atlassian Identity Manager, as there is no way to get access to the hosted platform.

Have a look at

* https://www.atlassian.com/enterprise/cloud/identity-manager

and we have options for SAML providers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
James
