Crowd 3.0: Azure AD Integration with GermanyCentral

[Rainer Montag]

Hello,

I try to get Azure AD integration with Crowd 3.0 running with an Azure subscription for Azure GermanyCentral, i.e. using cloud environment "AzureGermanCloud"

When configuring the Azure AD in Crowd, I have to enter the "tenant id", but there is no input for selecting a different cloud environment, which in my case is "GermanAzureCloud".

As a result, when I try to synchronize from Crowd I got the following error in server log:

2017-10-23 09:05:34,252 Caesium-2-3 INFO [atlassian.crowd.directory.DbCachingRemoteDirectory] failed synchronisation complete for directory [ 98306 ] in [ 1024ms ]
2017-10-23 09:05:34,283 Caesium-2-3 ERROR [atlassian.crowd.directory.DbCachingDirectoryPoller] Error occurred while refreshing the cache for directory [ 98306 ].

Those "AADSTS90038: Confidential Client is not supported in Cross Cloud request." is the typical error message because the Crowd client is using the default URLs of "AzureCloud" for accessing GraphAPI, but I need to use the GermanAzureCloud-specific settings to get access to Azure AD working.

Is it possible to configure Crowd to use "cloud_environment=AzureGermanCloud"?

Thanks in advance,

This functionality is now available in Crowd 3.2.0

A Crowd developer verified that it is not currently possible to use the Azure Germany URLs with Crowd.

I will update this thread when we have a public facing issue so you will know when we fix this.

Hi @Rainer Montag,

You might also want to take a look at our Office 365 Directory Connector for Crowd (ODCC)

ODCC does support Azure AD tenants residing in Azure Germany.

You can get more details about the ODCC plugin on our website: https://www.cleito.com/products/odcc/
