Are there ways to enter data into jira fields from an external website or pdf?

[Jon]

many of our fields contain info that is coming from a pdf or a website that we log in to. is there a way to automate this in any way?

Hi André,

As for your question about limiting the group search by DN, it would be possible in most LDAP distributions (see Matching Components of Distinguished Names in this documentation). This filter is supported as LDAP-compliant servers support an extensible-match filter which provides the necessary filtering capability to this search (see RFC4511).

However, on Microsoft Active Directory is impossible to do this, it's because AD is not fully LDAP compatible and does not support the extensible-match (see this documentation).

Another option can be use Nested Groups in your LDAP and set a filter in Group Object Filter field as this example:

(&(objectClass=group)(memberOf=CN=Group_A,OU=Groups,DC=Examples,DC=com))

In this example Group_A is the parent group and it wouldn't be pulled to JIRA, this filter would only return its child groups.

I hope it helps.

Cheers

Hi Tiago,

thanks for your answer but to add all groups to a specific one ist not possible for that need.

We have moved the group into that OU which is already in read out.

Kind regards.
André
