Connection JIRA- Microsoft Azure AD

[Joao David]

Hi guys,

I have JIRA hosted on-premise (available to internal clients only). I have a challenge that consists in connecting to external clients by using Microsof Azure AD. I searched a lot about the subject and I found some possibilities:

• https://www.cleito.com/products/odcc/
• https://www.veniture.net/en_gdsg_gsg_gsg/jira-authentication-with-azure-active-directory-via-ldap/
• Migrate to Atlassian Crowd

Someone has experience in the same procedure? What are your experiences and what is the best solution you can recommend in terms of efficiently/ risk?

Hi Joao,

another possibility - depending on your exact requirements would be one of the SAML Plugins.

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?product=jira&query=saml

Some of these Plugins Support Just in Time Provisioning & Update of Users via SAML as well as single sign on. 

I personally work for resolution, our plugin is the top rated SAML Plugin in the marketplace.

We certainly support Azure AD & Just in Time provisioning. Here is Microsoft's Tutorial how to integrate Azure AD/Jira via our plugin:
